South of the Hanseatic port city of Gdansk, the brooding castle of Malbork, historically known by its German name Marienburg, dominates the sleepy Polish villages that surround it. This is of no surprise, as Malbork is today famous for being the largest surviving medieval castle in Europe. The castle was founded in the 13th century as the headquarters of the Germanic Teutonic Order, who at the time were ruthlessly converting pagans to Christianity across the Baltic region. Today, the castle is an awe-inspiring monument to Poland’s turbulent history with its frescoes ceilings, gothic architecture and austere monasticism a reminder of the medieval power of the Teutonic Knights.
