About Dr. Karl Graf von Eltz gen. Faust von Stromberg
Eltz Castle, Wierschem, Germany
Some of the most notable things to see in modern Europe would be castles. Relics left over mostly from the Middle Ages, the medieval castles add allure and curiosity to the landscape.
Who Owns Eltz Castle?
Today Eltz Castle is owned by Dr. Karl Graf von und zu Eltz-Kempenich, alias Faust von Stromberg, the 33rd generation of his family. He lives in Frankfurt am Main and the castle is managed by two castellans (wardens or constables) who are in charge of handling the tourism business and the preservation of the artifacts on-site. Castellans have been managing the castle for centuries.
The Eltz Castle, nestled in the forest in Wierschem, Germany, has housed 33 generations of the same family for nearly a millennium. The estate was established in the 9th century, but it wasn’t until 1470 that construction started on what you see here. Each family member who inherits the castle has added a special addition. Even though it is a private residence, the castle is open for visitors, who will pay about 10 euros per ticket.
