Blejski grad / Bled Castle
Once upon a time there was Bled Castle
The history of the castle dates back to 1004, when the German Emperor Henry II donated the Bled estate to the Bishop of Brixen Albuin. At that time, on the site of the current castle, protected by walls, there was only a Romanesque tower. The first castle was built by the bishops around 1011 and originally had a defensive function. The bishops of Brixen never lived in the castle, so there were no luxurious rooms in it.
In the mature Middle Ages, additional towers were added and the fortification system with walls and a drawbridge over the moat was perfected. The moat is now filled in, but the scene still inspires the imagination.
The castle is characterized by a double construction - a fortified central part intended for the residence of the feudal lords and an outer part with walls and buildings for the servants. In 1511, the castle was badly damaged by an earthquake, but it was rebuilt and then acquired its current appearance. The castle buildings are decorated with coats of arms painted in fresco technique, some are also carved in stone.

Steep climb to the parking lot. Entrance fee 15 euros for adults! Great view of the lake and the island. Interesting exhibition in the museum.

Those who don't mind paying the hefty entrance fee will be rewarded with a great view.
