About Reims Cathedral
Notre-Dame de Reims, called Reims Cathedral in English, is the Catholic cathedral of the French city of Reims and the seat of its archdiocese. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it was the traditional place where the kings of France were crowned. Among works of Gothic architecture, it is considered one of the most important. In 1991 it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is thought that the bishop Nicasius founded the cathedral in the early 5th century. Building the present church started in the 13th century and finished in the 14th, and it is a prominent example of High Gothic design. It replaced an earlier church that was destroyed by fire in 1210. Work moved with exceptional speed because standardized stone sizes meant stones did not need to be cut to size individually, and Reims was among the first buildings to use them.
Saint Remigius, the bishop of Reims, baptized Clovis, king of the Franks, there around a century later; Clovis was the first Frankish king to be baptized. That baptism inspired a long custom of crowning kings at Reims. The city became the regular site for crowning French monarchs, a custom established with Henry I of France in 1027, and of the kings who followed, all but seven were crowned there. World War I severely damaged it, and it was restored again in the 20th century. Since a 1905 law separating Church and state, the French state has owned it, and the Catholic Church holds an agreement to use it exclusively.

- Pinnacles and flying buttresses
- Slender pinnacles and curved buttresses line the sides of the nave. Print friendly adapts thin parts like these to your print scale; Full detail keeps them, best with a larger print and 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers.
- Twin towers and slim spire
- The two west towers have tall arched openings, and a slim spire rises at the east end. Print slowly with good cooling so the thin tops stay clean.
- One piece with the ground
- Reims Cathedral is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
