Limburger Dom
Cathedral in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany, dating from 1100
Limburg Cathedral (German: Limburger Dom), also known as Georgsdom ("George's Cathedral") after its dedication to Saint George, is located above the old town of Limburg in Hesse, Germany. It is the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Limburg. Its high location on a rock above the river Lahn provides its visibility from far away. It is the result of an Early Gothic modernisation of an originally Early Romanesque building, and therefore shows a Romanesque-Gothic transitional style. The medieval patron saints of the church were Saint George and Saint Nicholas.
