Schloss Blutenburg, set in the idyllic district of Obermenzing on the banks of the river Würm, is a late Gothic jewel with a history dating back to the 15th century. Originally a moated hunting lodge for Duke Albrecht III, it was later expanded by his son, Duke Sigismund, who added the exquisite castle chapel of St. Sigismund in 1488. Remarkably preserved, the chapel retains its original medieval furnishings and delicate stained glass, offering a rare glimpse into late Gothic artistry. Surrounded by tranquil waters and parkland, the castle exudes a serene charm that belies its centuries of history. Today, it is home to the International Youth Library, the world’s largest of its kind, attracting book lovers from around the globe. Visitors can explore exhibitions, the Michael Ende Museum, and enjoy the inviting Schlossschänke tavern, making Schloss Blutenburg both a cultural treasure and a peaceful retreat within Munich’s vibrant urban landscape.
