The Stunning Castle of Burg Eltz Sits Among the Forest
Deep in the Moselle valley, in a landscape of extraordinary, ancient, forested beauty that feels entirely removed from the modern world, there is a castle that seems to have grown from the hillside rather than been built upon it — a castle so perfectly, so improbably, so almost impossibly beautiful that the first sight of it through the trees stops you in your tracks and makes you question whether what you are seeing is real or whether you have somehow wandered into the pages of a fairy tale. Burg Eltz has stood in this valley, surrounded by the same dense, ancient forest, since the twelfth century — never destroyed, never significantly altered, its extraordinary cluster of towers and turrets and half-timbered facades rising from a rocky spur above the Elzbach stream with a completeness and an authenticity that is almost without parallel among the medieval castles of Europe. Not far from the Rhine river, hidden in a side valley of the Moselle that the main roads and the tourist routes largely bypass, it is a place that rewards the effort of finding it with one of the most extraordinary architectural and landscape experiences in all of Germany — the castle sitting among those trees with a naturalness and a rightness that makes the whole scene feel like something that has always been there, always will be, a permanent and perfect feature of the German forest landscape. This photography print captures that extraordinary scene with remarkable fidelity — a piece of wall art that brings the full, romantic, fairy-tale beauty of Burg Eltz into any room, and a home decor statement and artwork that is bold, atmospheric, and deeply evocative of the extraordinary medieval heritage of the Moselle valley.
One of our photographic prints of Germany: The stunning Burg Eltz sits in a valley among a beautiful forest not far from the Rhine river, this is my favorite castle to date I have seen in Germany, I just love the way the castle sits among those trees, this was shot on my recent 2018 European road trip. The extraordinary completeness of Burg Eltz — its towers and turrets rising from the forest with a confidence and a beauty that eight centuries of history have only deepened and enriched — makes it one of the most compelling and most photogenic castle subjects in all of Europe, and this fine art photography print captures that quality with a richness and a clarity that makes it one of the most atmospheric and most giftable European castle prints in the collection. Whether you are drawn to the extraordinary medieval architecture of Burg Eltz itself, the romantic beauty of the Moselle valley forest landscape, or simply the bold, warm, atmospheric power of this fine art European castle composition, this makes a truly exceptional gift for anyone who loves Germany, European travel, or the great medieval castles of the Rhine and Moselle valleys.
