Malbork Castle

The Castle Museum at Malbork represents one of the greatest historical attractions in Poland itself. Once the nexus of one of the most powerful states on the Baltic, this gargantuan edifice was founded by Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Siegfried von Feuchtwangen in 1309. There's enough to get your teeth into here to justify a full day out. You'll have join a Polish tour or pay the big bucks for an English one, but there are pocket guides to help bring it all to life. Jump on a train from Gdansk and it's a 30-40 minute journey to the town costing a mere 8 zloty each way. The station is a ten minute walk from the castle. Get there before 2:00pm or you might not be able to see the inside!

"This castle is indeed nice but please remember it is made pout of brick. If you want to see some fine castles, I'm absolutely positive that the UK/Wales has some of the best in the world"

"Gdansk is one of the finest cities in Europe and Malbork is the frosting on the cake! If you haven't seen either site, you haven't seen Europe!"

"Amazing. Apparently, the Hitler Youth used to make pilgrimages here from across Germany, this being the seat of the Teutonic knights. They had special ceremonies. "

"Getting to Malbork from Gdansk is easy. Make sure you know how to ask for 2 train tickets!!! You can get off the train outside the castle, but this is the stop before the main Malbork station. The staions are badly sign posted so keep an eye out. Only 10 Zloty on the train from Gdansk. Once there it is 25zloty to get in. The signs were really poor inside. We had no idea which door to go through, however this turned into a bit of a game by the end to see who could find a door that would open!!! Once you do find an open door it is well worth it. "
