Eltz Castle

Eltz Castle
Eltz Castle is the German model castle. For many years it was shown on the 500 DM note and numerous school classes walked up and down the castle path.
In the beautiful Eltzbachtal valley, the castle rises into the sky. In 1268 it was divided among three heirs to avoid inheritance disputes. Each of the heirs further expanded his area of the castle, which led to a dense development of the complex with towers and oriels, which characterizes the present face of the castle.
