Requested by Charlemagne, Aachen Cathedral was founded in 8th Century in Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), Holy Roman Empire, now in Germany. Coronations of many Holy Roman Emperors took place here. The central part under the dome was a part of Charlemagne’s Palace, named Palatine Chapel. It is the only well preserved part of the palace left from the Carolingian era, and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many extension building works were executed over the centuries, resulting in this peculiar appearance of the Cathedral with mixed architectural styles.
About the model
Texture: parts of the stone facade & relief texture, parts of stone window frames, parts of dome roofs, railing, roof toppers are modified from artworks for Canon’s papermodel by K.Yoshinaka / STpers. As for my own texture, I focused more on roofs, stained glass windows, sculpture relief details.
Saint statue parts’ meshes and textures are modififed from noe-3d.at’s royalty-free models for commercial use/public domain on Sketchfab.
