The Groeve het Paulusbergske is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located southeast of Valkenburg on the Sibbergrubbe on the northeastern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. At the site, the plateau plunges steeply for several meters.
Immediately northwest of the quarry is the Groeve het Kornelsbergske,
on the other side of the Sibbergrubbe is the Groeve Lemmekenskoel,
about 200 meters to the northeast are the Vallenberg Quarry and the Groeve van de Verdwenen Honden and about 100 meters to the south is the Groeve the Nullelokske.
The quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone blocks.
In 1946 the quarry entrance collapsed.
The quarry complex of Groeve het Paulusbergske is said to consist of four small quarries, two of which are filled with soil and another is unknown. The four quarries would have an area of 78, 78, 548 and 78 square meters respectively, with the quarry with the largest surface area having a corridor length of approximately 113 meters.
