Burg Eltz is one of Germany's best-preserved medieval castles, nested on a 70 metre (229 ft) high rock, hidden away in one of the Mosel river's side valleys. The Counts of Eltz have had their seat here since 1157 CE. It is still owned by a branch of the same family (the Eltz family) that lived there in the 12th century CE. The steep castle was built for over 500 years. Medieval and Renaissance elements are structurally combined.
