Marble quarry that is presently (2007) merged with the Skrรคbbรถle quarry , forming a hole that's maybe 1-2 km long and about 0.5 km wide.

The Limberg quarry forms the northern part of the large open cast mine, while the Skrรคbbรถle quarry forms the southern part.
The northern part consisted of originally of separate quarries: Lindbergs gruva, Storgรฅrds gruva and Norrgรฅrds gruva respectively. Today they are merged into one quarry, named Limberg Quarry.

Located in the centre of Pargas (Parainen).
