The seven-towered Dom St Georg (St George’s Cathedral) can be seen from the autobahn and railway lines passing Limburg. It draws visitors to this town and once there, draws them along steep alleys past half-timbered houses to the top of the hill for a closer look. Originally built in the early 13th century, this church is a fine example of late Rhine Romanesque with some elements of the impending Gothic already visible in the interior.

Limburg’s historical old town is easy to enjoy. It is not really necessary to look out for any specific sights – just marvel at the lovely half-timbered buildings dating from the 13th to 18th centuries. Many now house modern shops as well as pleasant cafés and restaurants making Limburg very much a living town and not an artificial or sterile half-timbered fantasyland.
