Help with pics of western medieval buildings

[Kyriakos]

Just post pics of buildings you would like to see in the 3rd part of the 3d set series, which will be a western european one

I am mostly interested in large churches/cathedrals etc, but smaller buildings, if distinctive enough, can be proposed

Oh, and avoid the notre dame

I found this small chapel, which i could model as the smaller of the two culture unique buildings:

 

[Ares de Borg]

Bayeux Cathedral

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

I would love to see the cathedral from my home city. It's the biggest in Denmark, and it's really lovely. Constructed around 1200 AD I think.

Someone say they needed buildings? I currently HAVE the following models.

 

[Alan McG]

I would include Frauenkirche in Dresden (Germany) as the most distinctive building in the city, due to its recent reconstruction..

[Kyriakos]

Yoda do you have a panoramic view of the cathedral?

Perhaps i will make one northern and one western european, although this would leave out an italian set.

I may pm you for some of the buildings, Wyrm, although i prefer my own models (easier to work around with)

 

[Yoda Power]

I can't find anymore good pics, but the last one I posted should give you a pretty good view of it, from a birds perspective.

 

[Kyriakos]

I made this so far. It is not entirely accurate, but in the city scale it should be ok

Hey that looks great. Just add the red and green/greyish colours.

Was the team good in the medieval baseball championship?

What colours should the northern and western set have?
I mean the variant roof colour.
Byzantine--->red
Serbian--->light green
northern---> possibly orange?

Should be gray.

 

[Yoda Power]

A brown/orange one would probably be good for the walls of the buildings. The roofs probably be red or green. (I'm sorry that's the colors you already used).

 

[Gen. Rommel]

My suggestion would be the Kölner Dom in (you guessed it) Cologne!

I would love to see someone do this, especially if it's you doing it.

By Day:

Spoiler :

(ignore that cube like structure to the right of the left tower in all the pictures, it's merely a staircase attached to the left tower so that tourists can travel to the top)

By Night:

Spoiler :

It's a very intricate and unique buidling, and I believe it would look beautiful in civ format. It's a work of detail, and as such, makes it very destinct from all other cathedrals. I hope you decide to make it...

 

[Kyriakos]

Sorry Gen Rommel but i cannot model intricate gothic buildings. They would need millions of polygons, and take at least days (if not weeks) to create.
And in city scale you would not be able to see much of the detail either

Any pics of a second (smaller) medieval scandinavian landmark?
The Arhus cathedral is already part of the set

 

[Bjornlo]

Stave church (Stavekirke) Built around 1200. Quite a few of these types of churches are still standing in Norway. Yup. 800-900 year old wooden buildings.
This one was sold to the king of Prussia 1800's(and reassembled in what is now part of Poland). Plus I recall that there is one or two in Sweden and I think one in England.

There are several types of these churches. They all have a few common elements. They are constructed of heavy timbers. They all have corner posts or "staves". They have tall spires. They are covered in runic carvings.

Bergen, and so some degree other nearby cities include waterfront like this:

Note the row style construction. The colors are red, yellow and white in that order of prominense.
Bergen was Hanseatic trading center and part of the Hanseatic league (merchant power group), and so similar building styles would have existed in the other league cities such as much of northern Germany.

The Storting in Oslo

Ther Royal palace in Oslo

Håkonshallen (aka Bergenshus) the Castle located close to downtown Bergen. The original capitol of Norway.

btw: most cathederals I have seen in the northern parts of europe are gray not red. There are a few red ones scattered here and there. But most are more like this one in stavanger

This is Norway's oldest cathederal, built in around 1100 to 1125.

 

[Kyriakos]

I expected the Stave church

Do you have more pics of it?
A bird's eye view, a 3d model?

I found this, but a view from the sky would have been even better..
