The most beautiful castles in Poland: 1. Malbork

Who were the Teutonic Knights? Where did they come from and what was their original purpose? How did they arrive in Poland and why? What were their relations with Poland over the seven centuries they lived there? You'll find answers to these other questions in this book, as it's impossible to discuss the fortress on the Nogat River without understanding the role of the Teutonic Order in its development. This beautiful historical monument is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition to the historical outline, you'll find descriptions of individual parts of the castle, interesting facts, and numerous links to interesting websites, such as the Virtual Castle Museum. This well-thought-out book, written in an accessible style, is accompanied by footnotes and personal commentary by the author. The historical outline is complemented by interesting facts, information about knightly tournaments, and the well-known cyclical event from the "Light and Sound" series. Descriptions of the monuments of Old Malbork and other nearby Teutonic castles, as well as information on addresses, opening hours, and ticket prices, provide excellent preparation for your planned trip.
