The Church of the Assumption of Mary in Bled, also known as the Church of Our Lady or Mary on the Island, stands as a significant branch of Bled Parish, situated on Bled Island. It holds the distinction of being one of Slovenia's oldest pilgrimage sites and remains a popular tourist spot. Featuring a standalone bell tower, the church boasts five exquisite altars and an impressive pulpit. The bell in the tower, known as the wishing bell, carries its fame far beyond Slovenian borders. Originally a Gothic structure, the church underwent a Baroque transformation. Its interior, now a unified, bright, and whitewashed space, showcases remarkable altars—the grand wooden altar in the presbytery and two stone side altars at the eastern end of the nave and side chapels each. The Great Altar, also called the 'golden altar,' stands as a pinnacle of Carniola's late baroque craftsmanship. 15th-century frescoes grace the presbytery's north and south walls, adding to the church's historical richness. The church's allure lies not just in its architectural beauty but also in its storied past. Archaeological findings unveiled its history, revealing layers of predecessors that bestowed Bled Island with deep religious, cultural, and ethnic significance, drawing pilgrims in the past and tourists today. As the church expanded, so did the platform around it, transforming the island from a rugged ridge into the picturesque haven it embodies today.The historical significance of Bled Island dates back to prehistoric and Slavic times, with ancient Slavic rituals possibly conducted where the church stands today. Archaeological discoveries, including graves and a pre-Romanesque chapel, mark this as a unique cultural site. The island's first brick-built church emerged in 1142, consecrated by Patriarch Pellegrino. Gothic renovations in the 15th century, consecrated by Bishop Count Žiga Lamberg, preceded the church's damage from an earthquake in 1509. Subsequently, it underwent Baroque-style renovations. From the 17th century onwards, the church has maintained its present appearance. Notable features include a richly adorned main altar, displaying a seated Mother Divine with Henry II and Cunigunde, along with side altars dedicated to different saints. The bell tower, initially built in the 15th century but damaged over time, now stands at 54 meters tall and houses three bells. The church, its surrounding structures, and a monumental staircase have retained their appearance since the 17th century. A unique attribute is the wishing bell situated in the church nave's upper roof.

The castle was of strategical importance due to its location at a Drava river crossing and the road to the Loibl Pass and the March of Carniola. Upon the extinction of the Hollenburg dynasty in 1246, it passed to the Styrian Lords of Pettau, in 1438 it was inherited by the House of Stubenberg.
