Saint Martin’s Church

Cerkev sv. Martina (St. Martin’s Church) – Bled’s peaceful gem (May 4, 2025) Before climbing up to the castle, we made a short detour to this lovely Gothic church tucked quietly below the cliffs. The elegant white steeple you see from half of Bled is even more beautiful up close: simple, bright stone interior, colourful modern stained-glass windows that bathe the nave in soft light, and a calm atmosphere that feels worlds away from the busy lakeshore. The surrounding little square and the view of the castle high above are picture-perfect. A serene 5-minute stop that adds real local soul to any Bled visit. Well worth the few extra steps!

This lovely church on Lake Bled had a Sunday evening Mass at 1800. The priest chanted beautifully in Slovenian. If you go in winter, be sure to bundle up!

The beautiful neo-gothic St Martin’s Church in Lake Bled was built in 1905 at the site of the former Gothic church from the 15th century.

This beautiful Neo-gothic church just located under Castle Bled. Interior is so beautiful and detailed

Probably the best place for a church in Bled. You can see the park next to lake and the lake itself. The inside is probably better in winter time, because the lower sun gets through the stained glass windows and puts beautiful colors inside. The frescoes are amazing and the walls are colorful.

You’ve got to check out this lovely church right under Bled Castle. It’s a fantastic spot to pop in, say a quick prayer, and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. Inside, the church is packed with incredible artwork, and those frescoes really blew me away!

Situated on a hill beneath Bled Castle (Blejski grad), this peaceful and elegant church is built in the Neo-Gothic style. Constructed between 1903 and 1905, it was influenced by the work of Friedrich von Schmidt. Inside, the church features murals painted in the 1930s by Slovenian artist Tone Kralj, adding a distinct cultural and artistic touch to its spiritual atmosphere.

A beautiful church we came across while we were hiking down from the Bled Castle. It has a gorgeous chandelier and beautiful paintings inside.
