About Turku Cathedral
Turku Cathedral is Finland's only medieval basilica, and the Mother Church of the country's Evangelical Lutheran Church. It stands in the heart of Turku, beside the Old Great Square and the river Aura. It serves the Lutheran Archdiocese of Turku as its central church, and the archbishop has his seat there. The cathedral is considered Finland's most important religious building, and it ranks among the most recognizable symbols of the city.
Bishop Magnus I consecrated the cathedral on June 17, 1300, and it was dedicated that year as Finland's main cathedral. Builders enlarged it a good deal over the 14th and 15th centuries, working mainly in stone, and when the Middle Ages ended it had 42 side chapels in all. Late in the 15th century the roof vaults were raised to a height of 24 meters. The 1827 Great Fire of Turku badly damaged the cathedral, and it was rebuilt to a great extent afterward. The tower's spire, built after the fire, reaches 101 meters above sea level.
Most of the interior dates from the restoration of the 1830s. Fredrik Westin painted the altarpiece, which depicts the Transfiguration of Jesus, in 1836. Carl Ludvig Engel designed the reredos and the pulpit, and the court painter Robert Wilhelm Ekman made the Romantic-style frescoes on the walls and roof of the chancel. The sound of the cathedral's bells chiming at noon is broadcast on national radio, and the cathedral plays a central part in Finland's annual Christmas celebrations.

- Tall tower and spire
- The tower and its steep spire are the tallest, thinnest part of the model. Print slowly with good cooling, and use layers of 0.12–0.16 mm to keep the spire crisp.
- Gables and small pointed roofs
- Small gabled and pointed roofs cluster around the long nave. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale, while Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- Turku 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. Turku 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.
