Discovering the historic Eltz Castle in Germany

Elts Castle, owned by the Elts family since 1157, is a unique historical site. Constructed in the 11th century, it is located off the main road, high on a rock, surrounded by a lush forest. The castle has 120 rooms and has been home to 30-4 generations of the Elts family. Now open to the public, it attracts over 300,000 visitors annually, who come to see its armoury, treasury, and original furnishings. Despite Europe's tumultuous history, the castle was never invaded or destroyed, earning a place on the 500 Deutsche Mark note.
