We've visited Limburg many, many times. The view of the dom from the Lahn Brucke is fantastic…read more Really any view of the dom except straight on is lovely. The dom itself is rather plain inside. See the dom while in Limburg but don't expect to be awed by the interior or the frontal shot.

The rather modest outside, all in red and white, make it all the more impressive, first church here mentioned over 1100 years ago, that one we see nowadays was built 800 years ago, constructed to be the reincarnation of the New Jerusalem here in Europe, visible from all directions and at great distance, so everyone passing the Rhine Valley or the Autobahn from Cologne to Frankcort or viceversa, will not be able to avoid having an eye on it. From the distance modest and clear, at the close look one of the richest and most impressive churches I ever met, you will be surprised how rich the interior is eqipped, decorated and painted, if fact one of the richest old churches in Europe. If you happen to pass by, leave the Autobahn at Limburg North and go to the city center, easiest place to park the car is the next door storing place of the town of Limburg, only 500 yard by foot to mount up to the cathedral, just passing the surrounding medieval old town. It always gives me great pleasure from time to time to pass and to have a quiet handful of minutes rest in peace up there, afterwards hurrying back to the Autobahn, back to the outer world. Also to mention, Germans claim it to be the only European Cathedral named after St. George, the Patron Saint of England.

BEAUTIFUL STAINED GLASS WINDOWS BY MARC CHAGALL…read more=============================================== My husband and I had a day to explore Mainz and this church was probably on the top of my list. I had previously seen stained glass windows created my Marc Chagall in Rheims, France and I wanted to see the ones at St. Stephan's too. If you are in Mainz for a day I highly recommend a visit.

St. Stephan is a large Gothic church in Mainz that although the original structure was built in…read more990, the building you see today was started in 1267 and through the years additional sections were added thru the 14th century. It is the oldest Gothic hall Church in the Upper Rhine district of Germany and is known for it's stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall. The church was heavily damaged by bombing during WWII and parts of the vaulted ceiling were unable to be restored leaving sections with a flat ceiling. Nine blue stained glass windows were created by Marc Chagall between 1978 and 1985. His contribution to post-war Jewish-German reconciliation. It's really not and easy location to access by car. GPS took us through a neighborhood and then wanted us to go down a street that was blocked off by bollards. We did end up happening upon the church luckily after a couple of attempts. There is not much parking here at all so it's probably best to park elsewhere and walk in. The church itself is not ornate or filled with murals as many other European churches are. If that is what you are hoping for, you will be disappointed. This is an historical structure. Read up on the structure's history and Marc Chagall's contribution before visiting. Definitely worth a visit for it's architectural and historical significance.

Who doesn't like a high gothic church.! We stopped in here…read morejust to check it out it was free to get in and the organ was playing! It is hugh! So many beautiful carvings and pictures. This cathedral took 600 years to build and received massive damage during the war but it's beautiful today. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance.

So happy that our tour guide stopped here and allowed us to explore Dom St. Bartholomaus freely…read moreduring our walking tour of Frankfurt. it is stunning. The church is the main church of Frankfurt. It is the largest religious building in the city and a former collegiate church. Although the English name is the Frankfurt Cathedral, it has never been an actual cathedral. Rather it is a Kaiserdom or an "imperial great church" or the Dom because of its historic role as former election and coronation church of the Holy Roman Empire. The earliest church, and an adjacent royal palace which stood on the site, was originally founded in 852. The palace itself was created in the 9th century under Louis the Pious, the son of Charlemagne. Centuries later, the Palace Church was replaced twice as the community changed. Since 1356, when the Golden Bull of 1356 was issued by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were elected in this collegiate church as Kings of the Romans. From 1562 to 1792, emperors-elect were crowned here. When the city of Frankfurt secularized, St. Bartholomew's became the city's main church. In 1867, St. Bartholomew's was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in its present style. During World War II, the old town of Frankfurt was devastated by bombardments of the Allied Air Forces. St. Bartholomew's suffered severe damage. The interior was burned out completely. It was restored in the 1950s. Definitely worth a stop in Frankfurt.
