Burg Eltz

Wierschem, Germany

Burg Eltz is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River
between Koblenz and Trier, Germany. It is still owned by a branch of the same family
that lived there in the 12th century, 33 generations ago.
From 1965 to 1992, an engraving of Eltz Castle was used on the German 500 Deutsche Mark note.

this must have grown considerably since its origins, ending up almost a characature of the romantic castle; the mono brings it back into proportion

Viewing this is like traveling back in time, an elusion made more profound by the wonderfully foggy setting.
