650.00 900.00 

Malbork is the greatest brick castle in the world, built by the Teutonic Knights in the years 1247 – 1457. In this spectacular example of militarity architecture, an unique interior will make every visitor feel the athmosphere of the medieval times.

It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, during the Thirteen Years’ War, it was sold by the Bohemian mercenaries to King Casimir IV of Poland in lieu of indemnities and it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions, interrupted by several years of Swedish occupation, and fulfilling this function until the First Partition of Poland in 1772.
