Limburg an der Lahn- Romantic Medieval City

Limburg an der Lahn is the last stop of our trip along Lahn River. The small city is quite impressive with its vivid medieval traditional atmosphere, represented by lots of nice shops, cafes and small restaurants.




The pleasant walk along the city center passed through many beautiful old cobbled streets with lots of timbered houses of all shapes and sizes.




The perfect ensemble of old houses.



The house of the Seven Deadly Sins is one of the most fascinating timber-framed houses built in 16th century and depicts the seven biblical vices: pride, envy, gluttony, avarice, lust, anger and inertia.


The most prominent landmark is the cathedral erected almost 900 years ago, an excellent example of the Romanesque architecture style. The amazing cathedral is dedicated to St. George and is located on the top of the hill, on a rock above the Lahn River.


The cathedral impressed by its colorful façade and the square in front is a very peaceful.


Behind the cathedral is the old stone castle.




The atmosphere here is unique, transferring us to a journey back to the 13th century.





The castle has a great history and is a complex of several buildings.





The stunning views from here towards the river are just amazing.


Our visit in this romantic city is unforgettable. Limburg is definitely a nice and worth to visit destination. Here we experience traditional Germany at its best.
