Blutenburg Castle, then known as "Bluetenburg", originally served as a fortification until it was extended to a hunting lodge by Duke Albrecht III around 1430.
The relationship with Agnes Bernauer, a middle-class daughter, is considered a possible reason for the expansion.
Because of the fear that this relationship would endanger the succession, the father Duke Ernst had Agnes arrested and fatally pushed from the bridge into the water.
One or the other may have already noticed the sculpture park around the castle on the way.
One of them was also dedicated to the tragic love between Agnes Bernauer and Duke Albrecht III (located opposite the entrance to the inner courtyard).
Sigismund, Albrecht's son from a later relationship, ordered the construction of the castle chapel at the end of the 15th century.
In 1664 the courtly activities were transferred to Nymphenburg Palace.
Even today, you have the possibility to visit the castle chapel from October 1st to March 31st between 10:00 a.m. and 04:00 p.m., and from April 1st to September 30th between 09:00 a.m. and 05:00 p.m.
Besides the inviting castle tavern and the International Youth Library (largest library for children and youth literature in the world), you can also find several museums like the Michael-Ende-Museum or the Erich-Kästner-Room
