Marble quarry that is presently (2007) merged with the Skräbböle 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 Skräbböle quarry forms the southern part.
The northern part consisted of originally of separate quarries: Lindbergs gruva, Storgårds gruva and Norrgårds gruva respectively. Today they are merged into one quarry, named Limberg Quarry.

Located in the centre of Pargas (Parainen).
