Blutenburg Castle

is an old ducal country seat in the west of Munich, Germany, on the banks of river Würm.

The castle was built between two arms of the River Würm for Duke Albert III, Duke of Bavaria in 1438–39 as a hunting-lodge, replacing an older castle burned down in war.

 

The main building became derelict during the Thirty Years War, but was rebuilt in 1680–81.

The castle is still surrounded by a ring wall with four towers.
