Introduction

Eltz Castle, also known as Burg Eltz, is located in the Rhineland of Germany, standing at a height of 118 meters above the River Rhine. Around the year 1000, a small castle was built here, which was later converted into a fortress by the Elector of Trier after several centuries. Despite being repeatedly damaged by the French over the years, the Prussian Kingdom worked tirelessly to restore it. Since 1815, the castle became one of the most powerful fortresses built in Europe and remains well preserved till this day.
