Beautiful photos of the most impressive German castles that were home to royals, lords, knights, and noblemen.

The Eltz Castle is commonly known as Burg Eltz, Burg being the translation for “castle” in German. The first written evidence of Eltz Castle is from 1157, making it nearly 900 years old.

This is one of the most iconic castles in the world. Located in Germany, in southern Bavaria, Neuschwanstein Castle is a magnificent location with a vantage point over the entire region.
