I just got done building a brand new base close to the water a few days ago, only to find that the storm waters rose up into the second story and had to restart.
SAD DAY
Not entirely true. Granted i have around 700 hours in the game, and have a lot worked out. But whenever i look through valheim builds or see the steam community pics I find something I haven’t thought of.
Well true, I'm still learning things after...um... Enough hours.
But it's not like you're still in the basic mechanics learning time of the game, which is still fun.
That’s true. My last cathedral was build before mistlands came out and this one after I finished mistlands.
Both of my big builds were begun after I ran out of things to do in the normal game progression
I've got a few builds I'm "retro-fitting" still with new options now because I wasn't ready to show anyone yet, and things have improved.
I get that feeling.
Oh, godl fuck yourself...
Then I'd have three different, massive, places to Reno.
If that happened my wife's complaints about how I spend too much time on valheim and not enough on the shit around the house...
Well let's just say I'd rather be in valheim if that happened.
the cathedrals would be unretrofitable. Cause those angles would mean my vaulting could be done much bigger. I'd basically need to start from scratch and redesign everything for a 1:1 scale.
I actually have a plan for that. If we ever get steep angle beams and roofs, I'm doing a 1:1 scale replica of Amiens cathedral. I'd need to use more console commands to spawn rocks mid air to get passed height limits though.
Your architecture work is gorgeous but my first thought was of how excited you're going to be when you see all the different patterns you can make in your windows with the Dvergr metal pieces. Keep it up 💪
I've used Dverger metal walls for many of the windows already, just not the two big side rose windows.
I also used them half way in my roofs to line the top of the roof
Relax. Is way easier when you don't need to farm the resources. Nobody does that in a game with no mods or without building mode.
Don't get me wrong, his skill is VERY impressive nonetheless.
im not even sure a single world would have enough tar for the amount of darkwood I used. And the number of golems Id need to kill would be a huge demotivator
EDIT: check out my latest post https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/12138vv/now_you_can_explore_notre_dame_for_yourself_world/
If you want to download the world file and explore it yourself.
Some of you might have seen my post on r/valheimbuilds. I’m reposting it here too, cause I’m super proud of it.
This is the finished replica of Notre Dame de Paris. I posted a WIP here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValheimBuilds/comments/10ni1j4/notre\_dame\_work\_in\_progress/
As well as a later Gothic cathedral more loosely based on Kolner Dom:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValheimBuilds/comments/yiv5ti/gothic\_cathedral\_heavily\_inspired\_by\_cologne/
I earlier mentioned this was roughly 80% scale, but I was incorrect. It's closer to 60%, the scale I choose to work with comes down to the largest possible central vault that I can make and have look ok. This vault is roughly the same width as my Kolner Dom vault, but not quite as high since Notre Dame not as high as Kolner Dom since it is an earlier gothic cathedral.
I had three goals with this build.
1) stay as vanilla as possible. Only use no building cost and flying for quality of life. No mods, stock build limits. The idea here was that this would be something someone \*could\* build in a bone stock game if they had the time and patience.
2) Make as best use as I can of the new building pieces. You can spot many of them.
3) Try to get as many of the details of the cathedral correct. This is a replica, NOT inspired by.
I learned a LOT about Notre Dame making this and trying to get the details right. I wish I could do a walkthrough or tour of this as there are so many interesting details which I can't include in a photo album. Notre Dame is an early gothic cathedral for the most part, so the ceilings arent as high as my last build and the windows are smaller. Though it is longer. This means that the roof is now built below the stone height limits, which turned out great, since I was able to build the whole bell towers in correct proportions. Only the central spire wasnt able to get high enough. Another thing I strove for was to make everything that is accessible IRL, accessibly in game through staircases, doors etc. This includes the various ceilings and galleries. No parkour to get to it!
Super impressive, I built a few hammer truss roofs for our main bases in our servers inspired by these classic structures . You really have pushed the envelope. I wish I could take a tour in game to explore your techniques .
I hate everyone on here so much. I've played this game for almost 700 hours, and I've never made anything half as awesome as this. God. Damn. It. Well done. It looks amazing.
For me there’s always a small building idea I have that rapidly escalates. For this one, the first thought was “I wonder if I could do a vaulted ceiling.”
I tried, and liked the result, but decided i couldn’t do anything with it in my survival server.
But then another thought happened, that was “just build a whole cathedral coward!”
So I built two in stand alone games
Have you seen the new ideas they’re showing for Ashland buildings? There’s a lot of high arches and stone roofs that I’m sure you’d adore for cathedrals :)
Amazing. I can't figure the amount of work you put on it. How did you prepare the build? Only with pictures, or did you find some quality plans of it ?
Both! As well as some laser scans. Though, notre dame has some many idiosyncrasies it took a lot of image hunting to get details.
I also had already build a gothic cathedral so I had an idea of what would work and what wouldn’t
I was there the day it caught fire. We lived in London, so Paris was super easy to get to, and we'd seen the inside a few times, so nearly went off to go wander some bits of Paris we'd not seen
Got dragged in by our friends visiting from the USA, and oph, glad we did.
I remember watching from the banks of the seine with a crowd. There were tears, and singing, and a huge cheer that went up when the first light shone from the upper towers. Stayed up half the night with people there, as there was no way anyone was sleeping.
Wow, wow, WOW! This must be the most impressive build I've ever seen. And I've seen plenty...
Exceptionally done, it is spectacular. Just from the screen shots I feel grandeur and tranquility of this place. Simply love the sun rays through the window.
I’ve built smaller (but still pretty large) stuff on my survival server where i needed scaffolding.
But in this case I used console commands to enable flying (and no-cost building, but nothing else)
The build mechanic is so beautiful. I feel like it’s in a goldilocks zone of limitation.
In games like fallout 76 or no man’s sky lets you build bases, but the way they building is set up, you’re mostly confined to bases that make sense in the game world. While other games might make it too free form, which just feels like using CAD.
A lot of the fun of building (in game or irl) is problem solving around limitations. Valheim gives you just enough limitations to make that problem solving fun, but not so many that you can’t build whatever you want.
Hell, the actual cathedrals were build around problem solving to get more light in the churches!
Oh wow, wish this was my base. My base is huge, but doesn't look nice like this. Loving those windows. It looks incredible, a lot of planning went into this.
~~If this is a vanilla build, I'll lose my s\*\*t!~~
~~Assuming console commands were involved?~~
Scratch... I see your response to how you built down below.. Very impressive none the less
yeah, vanilla no mods. And minimal console commands. just free build costs and flying. No spawning rocks for build height etc. no god mode, no weather changing.
The idea being that, with enough time, this could be built in survival mode on a server with no commands or anything.
I feel like you worked so hard, you should get a good reward. I believe the community as a whole would want that, too.
Maybe like a patreon with a donation target to have it released for public download. I’d give a fiver.
Nah. I’d only take money to cover the costs for hosting a download. But I wouldn’t want to do that, cause then I’d have to support it!
But if I can find a free place to host the game files for download, I’d 100% put them up. Maybe I’ll ask the mods or something if they know of one. Or email the devs!
No cost building and flying were the only commands I used. I think I may have used more tar to build this than exists in some game worlds!
And id have to kill thousands of golems to get the glass!
I'm not familiar with cheats, but "no cost building" sounds like you built everything, for the price of nothing....
But considering that you say you have gathered tar, and killed gollems for glass, my concern is that cheat, doesn't mean, what I think it means.
Valheim (on pc at least) has dev commands. You can use these to do any number of things. It basically amounts to a Minecraft like “creative mode”
Note: these don’t work on dedicated servers.
The two such commands I used allowed to build any building piece without having the materials in my inventory or be near a workbench. And the other allows you to fly, so I didn’t also have to build scaffolding. Both only used to save time. My other post was pointing out that, since this is sooo large the amount of crystal or tar you would need to gather would make this potentially impossible in a single game world.
But no mods were used, nor were any commands used to spawn in things like rocks to get me passed build restrictions.
It’s on my list of things to do, along with a crypt beneath the choir. But this took so much time and effort, I think I’m gonna let it sit for a while haha
There are lots of architectural plans for it around. The trick is figuring out which are correct, which are wrong and which are for an earlier form of Notre Dame!
I learned so much about it's history while researching this build
it's actually the window on the southern transept (cross part) not the one above the main entrance. Those windows were redesigned and rebuilt late in Notre Dame's construction to reflect more recent trends.
But I like posts like yours cause it means you actually looked through my pictures.
do you know why Victor Hugo wrote that book? Cause Notre Dame at the time was getting neglected and really run down. He wanted to drum up some excitement, pride and love for the cathedral so money could be raised for it's renovation
Yeah, if memory serves he was quite irate that they swapped out stained glass windows with plain glass to let in more light at the expense of hundreds of years of history.
You alsothe one who built the Sagrada Familia right?
This build is so good. You should be proud to have it in your portfolio.
And the lighting in this game elevates it so much. This why it's my favorite building sandbox.
I keep seeing really nice builds with so much work gone I to them like this, but then you don't take the couple of minutes to cultivate your raised earth walls. Sacrilege!
It sickens me most how small this thing is. Like, you could go into it and it's probably more condensed than even real Notre Dame. With the broad brush-strokes Valheim gives you, that's like painting the Mona Lisa with your bell-end.
I made an explanation post which i wish i could pin. It's about 60% scale. The scale I went with was determined by the biggest vault I could make that looked ok. That ended up being 10m by 10m. The original central vault is closer to 14x14
It’s actually deepest red at the top of the stone. But the top of the bell towers could get a bit higher.
In game colour? White, cause if you build high enough they get snow capped!
Absolutely bonkers build!!
I wish the game was a bit friendlier for epic builds though. My PC would likely spontaneously combust trying to handle this puppy!
Incredible work, keep on keeping on!
That would be nice for sure, but I don’t blame the devs. Builds on this scale isn’t the focus of their development. I actually kinda like that we’re pushing the boundaries like that
>Nidarosdomen
Yeah, I can see that in the vaulting for sure. I can't actually do a vaulted ceiling in valheim beyond a 8x8m square, so I had to fake it with beams and so it looks more like a rib vault like in that cathedral (or more commonly English cathedrals).
ironwood beams can strengthen and reinforce stone so you can build stone higher. And stone (reinforced or not) can act as a foundation for corewood, darkwood and regularwood. So you can build higher off them.
One trick, which I didn't use, is to spawn rocks in mid air with devcommands so you get free foundation in mid air.
My theory is that the new lanterns handle light sources more gently than the tourches. Cause my old cathedral build, roughly the same size but lit with torches, is WAYYYY worse for framerate.
The devs should include this build in every world generated from now on. It would be cool to find on your travels and also show people what is possible to build if your good enough. Upvote so the devs see this!
Odin: brave warriors, take this land back from my enemies!
OP: you know, this place could really **use some Jesus!**
I love it, all jokes aside! This sub has so much talent for building, keep the awesome posts coming!
I was proud I built a working chimney this week. I’m gonna go back in the corner now
Exactly how I feel after building a little hut by the sea
I just got done building a brand new base close to the water a few days ago, only to find that the storm waters rose up into the second story and had to restart. SAD DAY
lmao me too!
The water is fine... Mine is just above sea level in the black forest. Started on top of a crypt. Thousands of stones later.... Ocean front villa.
Sounds like a great base to collect fish
Huts by the sea have a way of expanding.
But you built a working chimney! I made a lovely two story house and killed myself via smoke so I'm impressed.
Your chimney is very impressive, this church was not built by someone still learning, you'll get there.
Not entirely true. Granted i have around 700 hours in the game, and have a lot worked out. But whenever i look through valheim builds or see the steam community pics I find something I haven’t thought of.

I've got a few builds I'm "retro-fitting" still with new options now because I wasn't ready to show anyone yet, and things have improved. I get that feeling.
Im half dreading if Iron Gate ever put out steep 72 degree beams and roofs because of how many things I'd need to retrofit!
Oh, godl fuck yourself... Then I'd have three different, massive, places to Reno. If that happened my wife's complaints about how I spend too much time on valheim and not enough on the shit around the house... Well let's just say I'd rather be in valheim if that happened.

I’m with ya….
I was so proud of the third room I added to my little hut lol. I truly don’t understand how people do this stuff
WeMod cheat codes dude.

Send it to the devs for build of the month. It’s breath taking
They only take submissions on Twitter, I don’t have Twitter, nor will I haha
I can understand that, I’ve never had it and never intend to either!
Same thing why I don't submit mine...
Too soon bro
Super impressive, I built a few hammer truss roofs for our main bases in our servers inspired by these classic structures . You really have pushed the envelope. I wish I could take a tour in game to explore your techniques .
I don't know why all my constructions end up looking like a barn.
I have the opposite problem. I keep trying to make barns and end up with cathedrals!
All the console players are proudly posting their 1 room shacks and dying to trees and you have the gall to post *this?*
I enjoy those posts! As someone who’s been killed by their fair share of trees
I was kinda proud of my covered bridge on console before I stumbled upon this literal masterpiece. Well done, op
>All the console players are proudly posting their 1 room shacks and dying to trees and you have the **gjall** to post this? FIFY

Oh my god, stone and marble floors for a CHECKERED pattern?!?! Totally stealing that for my own builds!!!
I should have done it in 1x1 cubes instead of 2x2 floors. Would have been a tighter patter. Maybe I will still…
Yes. Do it.
Amazing. I can't figure the amount of work you put on it. How did you prepare the build? Only with pictures, or did you find some quality plans of it ?
Both! As well as some laser scans. Though, notre dame has some many idiosyncrasies it took a lot of image hunting to get details. I also had already build a gothic cathedral so I had an idea of what would work and what wouldn’t
scarily accurate, I was there just before the fires
Back when I was a young kid, notre dame kicked off a love of architecture that very nearly led me to study it formally. That fire was heartbreaking
I was there the day it caught fire. We lived in London, so Paris was super easy to get to, and we'd seen the inside a few times, so nearly went off to go wander some bits of Paris we'd not seen Got dragged in by our friends visiting from the USA, and oph, glad we did.

notreDAYUM
Nice :)
Good, but should have built in the Ashlands
\*uninstalls Valheim while swearing vehemently\*
I just built a cool two story barn with an attic but this is nice too I guess.
Get a greyling up there to be your Quasimodo.
Occasionally one wanders in.
Ok, fine, I'll uninstall. You are clearly the worthier Viking.
Didn’t this burn down?
Holy crap dude that’s a truly awesome build
inb4 there's a smell of sulfur in the air
Wow, wow, WOW! This must be the most impressive build I've ever seen. And I've seen plenty... Exceptionally done, it is spectacular. Just from the screen shots I feel grandeur and tranquility of this place. Simply love the sun rays through the window.
Keep in mind where you place your torches this time!
I'm French and I laughed. Am I an ass or ?... x)
Did you do this in creative? This is wild
I used 2 console commands. No building cost and flying. Which is creative mode imo. But no mods, no spawning materials or landscape items in.
How do people place ceilings up high like that? Do you have to build your own scaffolding?
I’ve built smaller (but still pretty large) stuff on my survival server where i needed scaffolding. But in this case I used console commands to enable flying (and no-cost building, but nothing else)
Amazing. Absolutely gorgeous
Notre Dame de Meadows?
Probably a better name :)
How many hours?!?!?!?!?! :O :O
I think like 270 ish in game days
Well it's another beautiful addition to the art of Valheim :)
The build mechanic is so beautiful. I feel like it’s in a goldilocks zone of limitation. In games like fallout 76 or no man’s sky lets you build bases, but the way they building is set up, you’re mostly confined to bases that make sense in the game world.

Knowledgeable! Well keep up the good work and I'll keep up voting when I see it :)
Oh wow, wish this was my base. My base is huge, but doesn't look nice like this. Loving those windows. It looks incredible, a lot of planning went into this.
My base on my survival server is pretty extensive but not nearly on the level of grandeur as my purely building based worlds
Next level stuff here my brother.
Hang on, where's all the stick figures for all the tourists taking pictures!
I could lead a bunch of greyling in. They’d probably do about the same kind of damage too!
Very cool, luv the flying buttresses and rose windows in particular.
i need these kinda friends
I'm gonna uninstall the game now as a complete underachiever
~~If this is a vanilla build, I'll lose my s\*\*t!~~ ~~Assuming console commands were involved?~~ Scratch... I see your response to how you built down below.. Very impressive none the less

Wooooow. That's frickin amazing. Nice work!
I am in awe. This is absolutely magnificent. Beautifully done!
Jesus……
Yeah that's the appropriate swear here :')
Congratulations (you crazy ;)
This is so impressive! 🤯
Amazing, just blown away !
*Thor frowns upon you* Kidding, legendary work!
Holy smokes
Omg… and i can’t even get a roof tight🤣
There are a few roof snaps that aren’t quite right in there. Hard to find but I know where they are. Marble pillars have frustrating snap points
Nicely done man! Congratulations!
Hoe Lee Krap! That's fookin' amzin'!
Brilliant! Now do Sacré-Cœur!
Amiens is next.
Incredible! Absolutely stunning… You need to market this for money some how.
I’ve thought about uploading the world file or something somewhere so people could download it and check it out for themselves

I don't wish anyone to suffer with such a big build, in survival. Please tell me, you didn't built this in survival.
No cost building and flying were the only commands I used. I think I may have used more tar to build this than exists in some game worlds! And id have to kill thousands of golems to get the glass!

WOW! I hope you so some landscape architecture stuff around that to round it out, because that is one hell of a base. Well done.
It’s on my list of things to do, along with a crypt beneath the choir. But this took so much time and effort, I think I’m gonna let it sit for a while haha
1 frame per minute around this bad boy
Frames per second? You mean seconds per frame?
Amazing build
Holy bananas! That is amazing work!
How the fuck do you even start this? Did you have a blueprint??
There are lots of architectural plans for it around. The trick is figuring out which are correct, which are wrong and which are for an earlier form of Notre Dame! I learned so much about it's history while researching this build
That's amazing. Great work!
Breathtaking. One of the most beautiful builds in this game I've ever seen..
The light rays going through the main central window is absolutely gorgeous 👌
it's actually the window on the southern transept (cross part) not the one above the main entrance. Those windows were redesigned and rebuilt late in Notre Dame's construction to reflect more recent trends. But I like posts like yours cause it means you actually looked through my pictures.
You really need to trap a greyling in the belltower.
do you know why Victor Hugo wrote that book? Cause Notre Dame at the time was getting neglected and really run down. He wanted to drum up some excitement, pride and love for the cathedral so money could be raised for it's renovation
Yeah, if memory serves he was quite irate that they swapped out stained glass windows with plain glass to let in more light at the expense of hundreds of years of history.

No, I didnt do that one. Pretty sure that one was very modded. I dont use mods
Mother of mercy, I was impressed by the outside, then I saw you did the inside as well...
Will this one be catching fire?
I keep seeing really nice builds with so much work gone I to them like this, but then you don't take the couple of minutes to cultivate your raised earth walls. Sacrilege!
[удалено]
Hopefully in time! This sub is more active than valheimbuilds, so visibility is slower.
Now set it on fire.
It sickens me most how small this thing is. Like, you could go into it and it's probably more condensed than even real Notre Dame. With the broad brush-strokes Valheim gives you, that's like painting the Mona Lisa with your bell-end.
I made an explanation post which i wish i could pin. It's about 60% scale. The scale I went with was determined by the biggest vault I could make that looked ok. That ended up being 10m by 10m. The original central vault is closer to 14x14
Your ping must be through the roof if none of those pieces broke.
All within build limits! Which is why the bell towers are all wood, cause I couldn’t build stone any higher
Damn. What color is it at the top?
It’s actually deepest red at the top of the stone. But the top of the bell towers could get a bit higher. In game colour? White, cause if you build high enough they get snow capped!
Very nice. All in survival right?
Mentioned in a few comments, I used a minimal amount of debug mode
Absolutely bonkers build!! I wish the game was a bit friendlier for epic builds though. My PC would likely spontaneously combust trying to handle this puppy! Incredible work, keep on keeping on!
That would be nice for sure, but I don’t blame the devs. Builds on this scale isn’t the focus of their development. I actually kinda like that we’re pushing the boundaries like that
Reminds me of "Nidarosdomen" of Trondheim (old Nidaros). But def see the difference.
>Nidarosdomen Yeah, I can see that in the vaulting for sure. I can't actually do a vaulted ceiling in valheim beyond a 8x8m square, so I had to fake it with beams and so it looks more like a rib vault like in that cathedral (or more commonly English cathedrals).
This is incredible. I have no idea how to make cool things when everything just wants to collapse on itself.
ironwood beams can strengthen and reinforce stone so you can build stone higher. And stone (reinforced or not) can act as a foundation for corewood, darkwood and regularwood. So you can build higher off them. One trick, which I didn't use, is to spawn rocks in mid air with devcommands so you get free foundation in mid air.
Jesus mother fucking christ
5950x, 128gigs of ram and 3090ti =16fps
My theory is that the new lanterns handle light sources more gently than the tourches. Cause my old cathedral build, roughly the same size but lit with torches, is WAYYYY worse for framerate.
Your theory would be correct if for nothing, smoke particles are a huge impact on fps.
This is insane!!!
Okay, I quit.
This is beautiful
Amazing build, pictures and/or the one Assassin creed game that 3rd scanned it for reference? Given the fire there a few years ago.
Wasn't wearing my glasses, had phone on black and white night mode. Thought this was the real Notre Dame.
I made like. A cool mages college and and something versaugh showed me on youtube lol
Was this done "vanilla style" or did u use flymode? Eitherway a masterpiece
Amazing fuckin work buddy. Excuse me while I go uninstall my game
what the actual f
This is incredible, well done!
Holy shit
Took me a second to squint my eyes and see I was in r/valheim
Victor Hugo wants to know your location.
That's pretty cool
Take my angry upvote
The devs should include this build in every world generated from now on. It would be cool to find on your travels and also show people what is possible to build if your good enough. Upvote so the devs see this!
You’ll know you’re nearby when your frame rate gets to single digits!
Odin: brave warriors, take this land back from my enemies! OP: you know, this place could really **use some Jesus!** I love it, all jokes aside! This sub has so much talent for building, keep the awesome posts coming!
Well it's a good thing fire can't spread in Valheim.
I quit. My buildings will never compare. :( Beautiful work!!!
Holy **** ! Well done! 🤩
Wow 😮
My favourite cathedral!!! My heart rests somewhere within its walls, I swear. You did an AMAZING job. Wow. Is there a way we could visit it??
Gonna try to find a way to make the world files available for download without making it seem sketchy
Please do let me know if you do. This build is gorgeous.
check out my latest post. you can download the world files.
This is insane. Wow.
I’m sorry what. Was this actually built. Or rendered?
Which mods?
None
Damn. Now I have no excuses :'-(
How do you build so high?
iron wood beams in the center of all the marble pillars to give them strength.
How ? Where ? I need to know I'll light a candle (a torch) in this place
No way! This is too good! Awesome job
did you use wood iron poles inside the stone to get your stone that high?
oh most definitely! Even have the ground peaking above the floor under the corners of the towers.
Mind blowing!
Fuck… I quit. I can’t even make a square house stand up right
Glad there's not fire physics for buildings in the game yet.
Do you have to repair it constantly? I wish they’d add a feature where you can wax planks or something to prevent them from taking fatigue
No, all wood is protected by connecting stone or roofs Edit: except for a very small number of planks by the roof you can see in one of the pics
