Assumption of Mary Church, Gothic church on Bled Island, Slovenia
The Assumption of Mary Church displays Gothic architectural elements with a 52-meter bell tower and remnants of Medieval frescoes within its stone walls.
The first brick church was consecrated in 1142 by Patriarch Pellegrino, while the current structure received extensive Gothic modifications during the 15th century.
The church maintains its religious importance through regular ceremonies, with many couples choosing to celebrate their weddings by climbing its 99-step Baroque stairway.
Visitors can reach the church by taking a traditional Pletna boat service, which operates daily and includes a 30-minute exploration period on the island.
The church houses a special bell from 1534 by Francesco Patavino, which visitors ring by pulling a rope, following a centuries-old tradition.
