The castle (Schloss Eltz) was erected in a strategically important position in the twelfth century, along a trade route that linked the Moselle River with the Eifel. It has been owned by the same family until today. Many of the original furnishings still remain in place. There is a Treasury and Armoury boasting artworks in gold and silver.
