Few accommodations on Lake Bohinj have as rich a history as Vila Muhr. This extraordinary villa, which once hosted kings, princesses and even a duke, today offers luxury combined with historic charm. If you dream of accommodations where history meets comfort, Vila Muhr is the answer.
From an architectural gem to a royal hunting lodge
Villa Muhr was built according to the plans of the Austrian architect Franz Ritt von Neumann at the beginning of the 20th century. Its initial appearance represented a perfect harmony between the architectural elegance of the time and the Alpine nature surrounding Lake Bohinj. Soon after its construction, the villa took on a completely new role.
In 1922, it became the residence of King Aleksandar Karađorđević, who used the villa as his hunting lodge. In 1926, King Aleksandar gifted the villa to Prince Paul and Princess Olga, marking the beginning of its royal history. During those years, Vila Muhr hosted numerous important events and meetings of European aristocracy. Yugoslav, Romanian and English royalty strolled through its grounds, including Prince George of England, Duke of Kent, who flew to Ljubljana from Croydon in 1930 for a visit that symbolically ended right in front of Vila Muhr.
Vila Muhr was not just a hunting lodge - it was the scene of great meetings, strategies and moments that shaped the European history of the time. Today, its historical significance is reflected in its rooms, which, with their architectural sophistication and carefully preserved details, testify to its noble past.
