These Cathedral have been tempting me for a while, been seeing it out the window for the last year and for my first 16 years.
The construction of the church is believed to start around 1170 with the choir. The church was almost finish in 1282 except the northern tower and the vault between the two towers. As it stands now, it has done since 1924, where Christian IX's chapel where finished.


Well the octagonal burial place outside the chuch was finished in 1985.

You can find some more pictures of Roskilde Cathedral here. Its a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Here is how far I have got now:

Most of the model is just boxes to get the sizes of the church and the different chapels in place.

Yes, I agree...great start! And, one can never have enough cathedrals in ones cities, now can they. I'm really drawn to the architecture of this particular one, too!

Thank you both.

Here is a little update, showing the Cathedral from the games 4 views:


Have moved Frederik V's Chapel, the one with the dome out 2 meters from the church to correspond with RL.
Have mostly worked on the Magi chapel, the one next to Frederik V's.
The church is 88 meters long, 68 meters wide and 75 meters high.

Thanks for your comments.

Haven't been trying to get the dimensions right for the last chapel, but I just can't make it work together with the rest of the church.

Here is a picture of the last chapel (the Glücksborgian chapel):

Vester that pic you took looks real sweet and I do hope you can get the angle worked out..

Have added textures to the chapel:


It was pain in the ***, to add textures to the roofs on the corners. Using the normal UVW Maps was no option.
Had to use separate texture for it and just apply it with out an UVW-map, and work with the tiling.

I can imagine that the complicated shape was a huge amount of work, but wow, it looks great with textures, even though they will receive some more adjustments. :)

As I've just read this cathedral was the first built in Brick Gothic style. And it seems that this BAT will also be the first of this style in SC4. :) Keep at it! ;)

Ah yes, Arne, this looks really good, i wonder how you did the round windows though?

I have always had trouble trying to make windows for round or otherwise irregularely shaped BATs... :(
