  • Elz

Eltz Castle, on the border between Maifeld and Eifel, was built at the beginning of the 12th century. It was built on an elliptical, 70 m high rock head and is surrounded by the Elz on three sides.

The Bug has been owned by the Eltz family for more than 800 years. The current owner keeps the castle open to the public and on the interesting tours you can admire many exhibits from times past. Et al The oil painting Madonna with Child and Grape by Lucas Cranach the Elder and the more than 1 m high statue of the bridge saint Nepomuk by F. C. Mäderl deserve special attention.

Eltz Castle is one of the most beautiful historical buildings in Germany and has e.g. managed on the back of the former 500 DM bill at DM times. The castle is a protected cultural monument according to the Monument Protection Act (DSchG) as well as a protected cultural property according to the Hague Convention and is marked with the blue and white protection symbol.
