Malbork trip planner

Although it contains Europe's largest Gothic castle, Malbork remains a small rural town overlooked by the majority of Poland's foreign visitors. Built in the 13th century by the Teutonic Knights, the World Heritage-listed castle represents one of the world's best-preserved examples of a medieval fortress. Malbork's old town suffered massive destruction at the end of World War II, and the bricks from its ruined medieval structures ended up in reconstructed buildings of Gdansk and Warsaw. Despite this, the city retains a medieval atmosphere thanks to its emblematic castle, which occupies a prominent location on the Nogat River. In the build up to your vacation in Malbork, plan trip itinerary minutiae using the visitor reviews, staff write-ups, and custom search fields on our Poland trip planner.
