10. Eltz Castle (Burg Eltz)
Burg Eltz is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River between Koblenz and Trier, Germany.
In the 13th century many towns were being founded in this area. Multiple owners came to claim this land and jointly built Burg Eltz.
This was a common practice in some parts of the Roman Holy Empire of the German Nation, as only the very rich European lords could afford to build a castle solely on their land.
This has caused the property to be divided into a community of joint heirs, which belong to different branches of certain families.
Burg Eltz is located on an important Roman trade route between the rich farm lands and their markets.
The castle had major construction done from 1472-1540. It was mostly in the late Gothic style.
