The current church structure of the pilgrimage church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary has remained unchanged since the 17th century, when it was renovated after another earthquake. The main altar, with its rich gilded carving on the central altarpiece dating from 1747, depicts the seated Virgin Mary with the transferor of the Bled estate, Henry II, and his wife, Cunegonde. The side altars, created at the end of the 17th century, are dedicated to St. Sebastian, St. Magdalene, and St. Anne. The church's bell tower was built in the 15th century. Like the church, it was damaged by two earthquakes and struck by lightning in 1688, and has been rebuilt several times. The current bell tower is 54 meters high and has three bells, made by the Ljubljana bell founders Samassa and Franchi. Like the church, the other buildings, such as the circular wall and the monumental staircase with 99 steps, have retained their shape since the 17th century. A special attraction is the "wishing bell," located in the upper turret above the nave.
