"Burg Eltz", a medieval hill castle in Germany's Moselle region near #Wierschem, has been owned by the Eltz family since ~1157 (first documented under Frederick Barbarossa). Built over centuries (12th-17th), it blends romanesque, gothic, and early baroque styles into a harmonious ensemble with eight towers up to 35m, oriels, turrets, and timber framing.
