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. Albert's son, Duke Sigismund of Bavaria , ordered extensions of the castle beginning in 1488; he died here in 1501.
He also ordered the construction of the palace chapel, a splendid masterpiece of late Gothicstyle which still has its stained-glass windows, along with the altars with three paintings created in 1491 by Jan Polack . 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.
