GDY04 ― MALBORK CASTLE

Duration: approx. 4.5 hours

This tour will take you to see the largest brick fortress in the world, Malbork Castle. This medieval keep was built by the Teutonic Knights, who were a German Roman Catholic religious order of crusaders, and finished in 1406. In the course of time, the castle was extended several times to accommodate the growing number of knights and with that became the largest Gothic fortification in Europe. The castle complex is made up of three different sections – high, middle and low – which are separated by multiple dry moats and towers. Severely damaged during World War II and again by a fire in 1959, the Castle has been undergoing continuous restoration since 1962. You are recommended to take your camera to capture the beautiful castle situated on the banks of the River Nogat. You will have an opportunity to visit the halls inside the castle and see many displays of sculptures and a fine collection of medieval armour.



Please note : limited number of guides in languages other than English. Should a tour guide for your language be unavailable, the tour will be provided in English only. A fee is requested to take photos or shoot videos during the visit at Malbork Castle.
