 Malbork Castle by Zvrlj Malbork Castle is the largest brick castle in the world. It was founded as Die Marienburg – Mary's Castle, in 1274 by Order of Teutonic Knights, and it was the residence of the Order between 1309 and 1457. The Castle was seriously damaged during WWII, but very successfully reconstructed after it. Photographies of destroyed castle and of works organized during 50s and 60s of 20th century (exhibited in it) testify of the great achievements in reconstructing the castle complex. UNESCO listed the castle and its museum as World Heritage Sites in December 1997 as Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork. Leave a Comment Address: ul.

 Bird in the Nest With Three Small Birds by Zvrlj There is amazingly beautiful bronze bird in the nest with three small birds on the top of the well on the High Castle. I couldn’t find out what period it is from, but it is worthy of a closer look, for sure. Leave a Comment

Lots of folks travel to the castle and combine it with time spent by the river. Although we weren't able to stop and tour the grounds or the castle...one can imagine that you could be lost in your wanderings for easily a full day. PERMISSION TO PHOTOGRAPH AND VIDEO WITHIN THE CASTLE COSTS 15 ZLOTY.

Think you would have what it takes to get over those walls and break into the castle? hmmmm.... This is a pretty substantial fortress. Sorry I don't have more pics and detail for you...but this attraction was a quick view from the train for me. Leave a Comment

 View of the castle from across the river by alancollins, 4 more photos This is without doubt the best castle to visit in Poland. The caslte has a long history with the Teutonic Knights. The castle and town suffered damage at the end of the second world war and has been painstakingly restored. The chapel has not yet been fully restored to its orginal glory and there is a debate as to whether it should be left to show how much work has gone into the restoration on other parts of the castle or restored like the rest of the castle.

When you decide to go to Malbork, make it a whole day's trip. It is no use to drop there for two hours, as then you will never see what's most interesting there. The castle was inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997 and really is worth seeing. To start - buy a ticket - and then - you can enter the castle. It is a pity you were late for that train to medieval times, as then you would have heard the noise of a busy Main House of the Teutonic Order. If you came here earlier in the history - you would have stood now in the crowd of suppliers, musicians, or maybe as one of the Teutonic guests - ready to start for a raid to Lithuania. The Teutons chose perfectly to settle here - as this land was far enough from the eyes of popes and emperors of Europe. Besides, this land had something else, what really was a great attraction... This you will hear during your visit there - I am not going to tell you all the secrets of the castle. I will only say that it is not only the castle that is worth seeing in Malbork. The town is nice and has many interesting places. Also the surroundings of the town are very interesting. The Lowlands of Poland - situated in the Delta of Vistula River are the only depressed place in Poland. And this can be seen thanks to the marvelous work done by the settlers from the Netherlands. Those people, who worshipped work, came here in the XVIth century. Their descendants left after the frenzy of the Second World War... Some traces of that "strangers in the Land" as they were called through the centuries, can be found - wonderful half-timbered houses, found nowhere else in Poland, lost cemeteries (thankfully being now restored), the villages and farms planned in Flemish or Frisian way. Indeed the land is interesting. Come and see it yourselves:) Address: Malbork - Starościńska 1Directions: It is impossible to miss the castle - as it really is the biggest brick castle you may ever see! The Lowlands are also easy to see - a flat land fromthe castle to the Vistula:)

 THE CASTLE'S CHURCH by matcrazy1 This church is still in renovation but opened to the public. It's said that the renovation is very expensive, very difficult and it will take many years. Meanwhile you can look at the interior of the church and... imagine how it looked in the past centuries. Leave a Comment
