Blutenburg Castle is an old ducal country seat in the west of Munich, on the banks of river Wurm.
The castle was built between two arms of the River Wurm for Duke Albert III, Duke of Bavaria in 1438-39 as a hunting-lodge, replacing an older castle burned down in war. The origin of this castle is a moated castle of the 13th Century.
Since 1983 the International Youth Library has been housed in Blutenburg Castle. The Blutenburg concerts are well known.
