About St. Stephen's Cathedral
St. Stephen's Cathedral, also known as Stephansdom, is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna. It stands on the Stephansplatz and is described as Vienna's most important religious building. Duke Rudolf IV largely initiated its present Romanesque and Gothic form, and it rises over the remains of two earlier churches. The older of the two, a parish church, was consecrated in 1147. Built of limestone, it is 107 meters (351 ft) long, and its highest point reaches 136 meters (446 ft).
The south tower, which locals call the Steffl, is the highest point of the cathedral. It took 65 years to build, from 1368 to 1433, and it was the principal lookout and command post for defending the walled city in 1529 and again in 1683. The north tower was meant to mirror it, but work stopped in 1511, and a Renaissance cap was added in 1578. It stands 68 meters (223 ft) tall, about half as high as the south tower. The main entrance is the Giant's Door, or Riesentor. The Roman Towers and the Giant's Door form the oldest parts of the church.
The roof is ornately patterned and richly colored, and 111 meters (364 ft) long. During World War II, a fire on April 12, 1945 severely damaged the roof and brought it down. Protective brick shells around the pulpit, the tomb of Frederick III and other treasures limited damage to the most valuable artworks. Reconstruction began immediately after the war, and the cathedral fully reopened on April 23, 1952.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

- A very tall, slender spire
- The south tower ends in a long thin spire, the most delicate part of the model. Print slowly with good cooling, and choose Full detail only for larger prints; Print friendly adapts the tip to the print scale.
- Patterned roof and small turrets
- The steep roof carries a zigzag pattern, and small turrets stand beside the towers. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep this fine detail crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- St. Stephen's 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.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. St. Stephen's Cathedral takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
