Among the northern castle approaches there exists a row of household upkeep buildings that are for the most part medieval. At the Castle end, they begin with what is now the St. Lawrence church and run for over one hundred and forty metres. This church was built in the first half of the fourteenth century for the artisan-farming group of Castle personnel.

Look at my picture. This large triangle wall of the Karwan is located just next to ticket office (KASA).
The Karwan was used for storing vehicles and battle equipment. Of the numerous buildings of this type which must have existed in Teutonic castles, Malbork's coach-house is the only surviving example. It was raised at the beginning of the fourteenth century next to the eastern curtain wall of the world's largest brick-built fortress. A project designed to re-evaluate the historic fabric of this building and lead to its systematic restoration was implemented in 1987. Since 1995 the Karwan has been available for use as a conference and education centre.

Walk along the shores of the Nogat River.
You can see the impressive walls of the castle, wild horticulture, birds and smaller and bigger boats on the river.
There is a wooden bridge built specially for the castle's visitors north of the castle, just oposite to the Lower Castle. There is a huge parking lot (for buses, too) on the opposite site of the nogat River, next to the bridge.

These twin turrets on my picture are located at the northwestern corner of the external wall of the castle (the Middle Castle). it's just by the Nogat River.
They are best seen from the opposite side of the river.

This picture on my picture stands just south of the castle. I didn't visit it :-(. I just took this picture from the opposite side of the Nogat River.
Notice the wooden top of the tower of the church - not so common in this area.

There are amazing wooden ceilings of the castle's rooms - especially this one on my picture. I found it inside the Museum Shop (Sklep Muzealny).
Address: ul. Staroscinska 1, 82-200 Malbork
Directions: On the northern wall of the Middle Castle's courtyard, turn right when you enter the courtyard of the Middle Castle (from the outside).

You can find this small gate/passage walking from the northwest corner of the courtyard of the Middle Castle to another small courtyard where there is the largest castle's stove exposition.
Did they build it to... Japanese tourists? :-))). Hmm... I didn't meet any Asian looking visitors in the castle.

There are a few huge boxes in the exposition "The Chambers of Teutonic Order Dignitaries". It seems that they were used to store money and other valuables. Am I right? Never mind, they are really big and impressive.

In the centre of the exposition "The Chambers of Teutonic Order Dignitaries", there is the group of rooms belonging to the house commander, including a vestibule, the commander's chamber and a living-bedroom apartment.

They used to store money (coins) in medium size sacks and put them into larger medieval boxes. You can see them in the exposition called "The Chambers of Teutonic Order Dignitaries".
The first floor of the High Castle's western wing housed the residential and office interiors of the monastic dignitaries of Malbork. The original interiors of Teutonic times have not survived to this day. Numerous transformations and reconstructions of this part of the Castle have led to the loss of the Gothic arrangement.
On the northern side, there is the group of interiors belonging to the monastery's under-treasurer (tresler), including a vestibule, residential apartment, treasury (known as the silver chamber) and the office interior - the tresler's chamber.
