The highest building in mainland Europe for centuries was Oleviste church in Tallinn Estonia, that was built about year 1500 and was 159 meters high.
Lincoln cathedral in Great Britain was in years 1300-1549 about 160 meters high.
That St. Petersburg convent built 1750 would have been highest building in Russia that time.
