# Exterior view from the north-west [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ARCHITECT, German]() - Date: 1201-1250 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary The collegiate church of St. George \(now the cathedral\) in Limburg an der Lahn had been begun in 1215 and consecrated in 1235, but not completed until the middle of the century. The design was inspired by the early French Gothic style at Laon. Of particular note is the charming landscape setting on a rocky outcrop which was used to maximize the striking impact of this church with its multiple towers. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Baumburg Tower]() - [East view \(detail\)]() - [Exterior view \(detail\)]() - [Exterior view from the east]() - [Exterior view from the east]() - [Exterior view from the north-east]() - [Exterior view from the north-east]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
