Eltz Castle near Koblenz deeply impressed many visitors. The German
art-historian Georg Dehio declared it 'the castle par exellence'.
This book describes its history and takes readers through the
interior of the castle as well as through the treasure vault.
Victor Hugo was simply impressed by the castle: "High, mighty,
suprising, sombre", he wrote in his diary after his visit and
continued: "I have never seen anything like it." To the English
travel writer Katharine Macquoid it was "a fairy-tale in stone."
Eltz Castle with its 850-years history and its picturesque setting
still is the quintessence of a castle today. This book describes
the beginnings and the history of Eltz Castle. It takes the readers
through the interior of the castle as well as through the treasure
vault, describes in detail the pieces of furniture and artworks and
gives a vivid picture of what life in this castle was like in the
past centuries. The discovery of Eltz Castle as a tourist site in
the 19th century is dealt with, as is the castle's significance in
art and literature. Nearly one hundered colour illustrations
complement the text.
