Burg Eltz is one of the most beautiful and best preserved castles in Germany. Lying in a romantic setting surrounded by an unspoilt landscape, inviting and majestic at the same time – like a fairy-tale castle come to life. You will find history cast in stone and you will feel yourself immersed in the spirit of a past revived – a fascinating view of the different ages of Western (Occidental) culture is waiting for you.
Burg Eltz is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River between Koblenz and Trier, Germany. It is still owned by a branch of the same family that lived there in the 12th century, 33 generations ago. The Rübenach and Rodendorf families’ homes in the castle are open to the public, while the Kempenich branch of the family uses the other third of the castle.
