[MOC] Gothic Cathedral

Recommended Posts

So, I've build this cathedral as the centerpiece of my planned medieval city. It is a product of chance and compromise, inspired by Europe's great medieval cathedrals, with the aim of capturing the essence of gothic architecture.

 

Exterior:

This is, simply, majestic! The amount of details you recreated with different pieces is astonishing.

Like when you enter an ancient cathedral, it is impossible to capture all the details with a single glance and one can only stay
ecstatic, open-mouthed admiring so much beauty.

Crosses, saints, spiers, buttresses, towers, torches, flying buttresses... everything is there. And that stained glass window in the transept it's a pleasure for the eyes.

Lucky the inhabitants of your city :laugh:

A most 'faithful' creation. Delightful details like the organ and a scripture next to it.
Kinda wonder if you found room for bells in the tower(s)?

It is precisely the overwhelming richness of details ment to inspire awe in the gothic architecture that fascinates me with these cathedrals. Glad i managed to capture a hint of this effect :pir-laugh:

Very impressive! 

One of my sources of inspiration proportion wise, was actually the neo gothic Votivkirche in Vienna :)

Thank you! Actually I did managed to squeeze a small bell into each tower (Just below the middle of the bell tower window) :pir-grin:

Indeed, it is probably the one source i've been inspired by the most. It is really a well balanced masterpiece :)

Indeed, although no match for its medieval paragons, in my opinion :)
