A new Guinness World Record has been set in Germany for the tallest sandcastle, which measures a spectacular 16.68 metres and has broken the record held by celebrated Indian sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik.<br/><br/>The enormous sandcastle is intricately decorated with images of tourist attractions from around the world, including Athens' Acropolis and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.<br/><br/>Using approximately 3,500 tonnes of sand, it took a team of artists almost a month to complete. An entire week was spent just collecting the sand in 168 trucks.
