Burg Eltville, Gothic castle in Eltville am Rhein, Germany
The castle features a fortified tower house with spiral staircases, a northern gate entrance, and a surrounding moat bridge connecting to the walls.
Archbishop Baldwin of Luxembourg initiated the construction of Burg Eltville in 1330, completing the structure in 1345 with modifications continuing until 1419.
The castle houses a Gutenberg memorial museum dedicated to printing arts, alongside a collection of engravings depicting the history of Eltville.
Visitors can access multiple floors through the tower, including a tourist information center on ground level and an observation platform on the fourth floor.
The count's chamber on the first floor of the tower represents the most refined living space, complete with a dungeon located beneath.
