Limburg Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany

The seven spires of Limburg Cathedral rise above the old town, featuring a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

The construction of the current cathedral started between 1180 and 1190, with consecration taking place in 1235 under the supervision of the Archbishop of Trier.

The Limburger Domsingknaben boys' choir performs regular concerts in the cathedral, continuing a centuries-old tradition of religious music within its walls.

Located on a prominent hilltop position, the cathedral remains accessible through guided tours that showcase its medieval frescoes dating from 1220 to 1235.

The cathedral's interior structure contains four distinct vertical levels, supported by substantial buttresses that extend from floor to ceiling in the central nave.
