Der Limburger Dom liegt oberhalb der Stadt Limburg auf dem Domfelsen, welcher direkt an die Altstadt von Limburg angrenzt.
Die Ursprünge der Kirchen an der heutigen Stelle des Doms sind nicht genau bekannt, datieren aber wahrscheinlich bis ins 9. Jahrhundert zurück.
Der Dom in seiner heutigen Form wurde im Jahr 1235 eingeweiht. Weitere Informationen zum Dom findet man u.a.bei Wikipeadia.
Der Limburger Dom war übrigens auf allen 1000 DM-Scheinen abgebildet, welche zwischen 1964 und 1992 ausgegeben wurden.

The "Limburger Dom" (which translates to "the cathedral of Limburg") is located above the city of Limburg, next to the old part of the town.
Today it is not exactly known when the first religious building was erected at the Dom's place, but it is assumed that this dates back to the 9th century.
The cathedral as seen today was officially inaugurated in 1235. Further information can be found e.g. Wikipedia.
By the way: the Limburger Dom was shown on all former 1000 Deutsch Mark bills, which were printed between 1964 ans 1992.
