🏘️ Part of the 3D Paper Christmas Village Collection — this Cathedral is the centerpiece. Scroll below to find all coordinating houses, shops, and Woodland Trees.
If you’re looking for a project that will stand out in your holiday crafting, this Cathedral SVG is the one. As the centerpiece of my 3D Paper Christmas Village, it instantly adds height and drama to your display and looks beautiful styled with my coordinating houses, shops, and Woodland Trees.
This Christmas paper craft makes a striking addition to a festive table, mantel, or window display, and also works beautifully as the backdrop for a nativity scene. Add LED tea lights inside to create a warm glow through the tall stained-glass–style windows and detailed doors.

How the Cathedral SVG is Built
One thing that makes this cathedral different from my other Christmas Village buildings is how it’s constructed. Because of its size, I designed it in separate building parts that can be cut on regular letter-size paper with Cricut, Silhouette, or other cutting machines. This allows you to create a grand centerpiece without needing oversized cutting mats or specialty paper.
When you’re ready to start building, follow along with my step-by-step Cathedral SVG tutorial on YouTube:
