The Limburg cathedral parish house is in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral and castle on the cathedral square in the central Hessian city.

The quarry stone building was erected between 1901 and 1903 on the site of the former "electoral bee garden [s]". As early as 1873, Otto Augener commissioned the cathedral chapter to make a first draft, but the construction was only carried out a quarter of a century later by Jakob Fachinger , who a little later was also responsible for the cathedral sexton house .

The two-storey building has a rectangular floor plan and a gable risalit . Quarry stone was chosen as the building material in order to visually match the building to the cathedral and the neighboring castle wall, which were unplastered at the time. Windows and doors have profiled stone walls . In the gable crowned by a finial there are three- pass windows and a four-pass rosette.

The associated garden is surrounded by a quarry stone wall, into which a relief of the coat of arms of Johann Philipp von Walderdorff , Bishop of Trier from 1756 to 1768 , is inserted. Vases are placed on the late baroque gate posts.

The building is a cultural monument for historical, cultural and urban planning reasons and as such is part of the overall system of the old town and the Frankfurt suburb .
