St. Martin's Parish Church, Bled
Highlight • Religious Site
On the site of the church of St. The first chapel of St. Martin was built before the year 1000. The current neo-Gothic church was built in 1905 on the site of an earlier Gothic church from the 15th century. The plans of Prof. Friedrich von Schmidt, who is also the author of the Vienna City Hall, were adopted for the construction of the new church, but above all in terms of the internal appearance by the architect Josip pl. Vancaš. The artificial interior was also contributed to by the restorer Janez Vurnik from Radovljica, who made most of the sculptures in the church from the best Carrara marble.

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.

Lake Bled
Highlight • Lake
Formation of the Lake
The unique shape of the lake as we know it today is no coincidence. Its location once occupied a tectonic basin, carved out over the years by the Bohinj Glacier. Its path was obstructed by an enormous rock, which it eroded so persistently that only the current island remained. The ice melted, the basin flooded with water, and Lake Bled was formed. With depths of up to 30 meters in some places, it is a delight for divers. The lake is home to 19 different species of fish, including carp, catfish, and lake trout, and its surface is home to ducks, swans, and a diverse range of vegetation.
