Burg Eltz - Germany
The development of castles in the Middle Ages with their beauty and power, which continues to amaze us today, began in the 9th and 10th centuries. Up to that time manor, houses were protected with earth walls and wooden palisades. However, from that time on reinforced stone walls were used for the greater security of what were now basic castles. The heyday or height of castle building stretched from the 11th to the 13th centuries, the main period of the imperial family of Hohenstaufen. It was also the time in which many towns were founded. In this eventful age, we find the first reference to the name Eltz.
Eltz Castle has remained in the hands of the Edlen Herren und Grafen (Lords and Counts) von und zu Eltz for more than 800 years.
Parts of it are open to the public, but a part of it is still inhabited by a branch of the family that has lived there for 33 generations now.
