Limburg

Only very few towns, such as Limburg, have remained virtually unscathed with the complete ensemble of mediaeval constructions. This is why the core of the town, which was once walled in between St. Georg's Cathedral (once the collegiate church in the Carolingian castle). Grabenstraße and the 600 year old stone bridge, is under protection of historical heritage.

Our social programme for your stay offers a wide range of possibilities of getting to know this exceptional town. A guided tour is highly worthwhile. Please ask us for details.

St. Georg's Cathedral

Limburg Cathedral, also known as Georg's Chathedral, takes the throne of Limburg's old town next to Limburg Castle. Its high position on the rock over the river Lahn makes sure that the Cathedral can be seen from a great distance. Today, the building is considered as one of the most accomplished achievements in late Romanesque architecture. However there are also elements of early Gothic clearly visible.

The Limburg staurotheque is a cross reliquary originating in Byzantinum 945 to 959. A staurotheque (frim Greek stauros = cross, theke = box) is a vessel in which a particle of Christ's cross is kept.
