The Eltz were influential and successful over the centuries, and the castle served them not only as protection but also as a status symbol. Throughout its long history, Eltz Castle has played an important role in the region. It survived wars and conflicts almost intact and served as a safe retreat for the Eltz family and their allies. The castle has witnessed political intrigue, diplomatic negotiations and impressive celebrations.
