Schloss Blutenburg, located in western Munich, is a late Gothic castle and former hunting lodge dating back to the 13th century. The castle is surrounded by the Würm River and is home to the International Youth Library, featuring various museums dedicated to renowned authors. Historical significance arises from its association with Duke Albrecht III and the tragic tale of Agnes Bernauer. Visitors can explore the chapel, which houses a stunning altarpiece by Jan Polack. The castle is accessible by public transport, and guided tours are available. Opening hours are from 10 AM to 5 PM, with an admission fee of €4 for adults and free entry for children under 12.
