The World's Largest Cuckoo Clock has battled with the Bavarian Clock Haus in Frankenmuth, Michigan, for
the largest title.

One of many t­ourist magnets at the Swiss-theme Alpine Homestead Restaurant, this intricate 23.5-foot-tall cuckoo clock was constructed in 1972 and has been in heated competition with the Bavarian Clock Haus in Frankenmuth, Michigan, for the title.
