The Guinness Book of World Records has officially named a 54-foot tall sand castle in Duisburg, Germany as the world’s tallest. Using over 3,500 tons of sand, a collective of designers from 10 different countries took approximately three weeks to build the intricate sand artwork. The castle’s design depicts renowned landmarks from all across the globe, including the Great Sphinx of Giza, the Rialto Bridge in Venice, the Colosseum in Rome, and even Elvis Presley’s gravestone in Memphis.

Get a closer look at the world’s tallest sand castle above and let us know your thoughts.
