The Teutonic Castle in Malbork is registered in the UNESCO list of the World Heritage and is the biggest brick built gothic castle in the world.
The fortress was built in the XIIIth century by the Teutonic knightly order. It was their final stronghold within Poland and their location of refuge after the orders defeat by the Polish Lithuanian army of Wladyslaw Jagiello at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. The castle owes its opulent splendour to the exploitation the amber trade. The Teutonic state in modern day Russia (East Prussia) controlled one of the richest amber regions in Europe. The castle may be only be visited by guided tour with tickets available at the ticket office outside. Tours are given in many languages, but Polish language tours are naturally a little cheaper. The castle grounds and interior boast a wonderful selection of art, medieval artifacts and architecture and the fortress as a whole has a wonderful atmosphere, practically transporting you back to the middle ages. The castle is perhaps one of the most breath taking in Europe and its colour and location make it unique. |
