Discover the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, one of the greatest monuments in Poland and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about the history of the Teutonic Order and explore one of the largest gothic castle in the world.

On this 5-hour tour, a qualified guide will share with you the most interesting stories relating to Malbork Castle. The tour includes sightseeing the 14th-century Palace of the Grand Master, which at one time was the residence of the so-called Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, visiting St. Mary’s Church, watching the castle’s various permanent and temporary exhibitions like collection of weaponry, armor, flags and enormous Amber Museum.

In 1274, over 40 years after the Prussian conquests, the Teutonic Order started building Malbork Castle. It had gradually become the most important edifice for the Teutonic Knights – it was the headquarters of the Teutonic Master, and hence the capital of the entire Teutonic State.

Malbork Castle, beautifully situated by the Nogat river, is currently considered to be the largest gothic castle in Europe and an example of the medieval defense architecture. In 1997 it was added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list, and it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and significant monuments in Poland.

The tour was very well-organized: we got picked up from the train station in Gdansk and were transported to the Malbork castle about 1 hour drive. On the way there, our driver, Mike, shared a lot of very interesting facts about the Polish economy, history, etc. When in Malbork, Mike purchased us our tickets to the castle and connected us with our tour guide. The tour guide in Malbork was highly professional unfortunately, I cannot recall her name : . She offered to take cool pictures, knew how to avoid the large touristic groups, what exactly to spend time seeing, and appeared generally very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was able to customize the program a bit and per our liking i.e. we visited the Tower which is open only a few months a year vs. the Armory.Towards the end it got quite hectic but she wanted to make sure that we make it back to meet our driver on time which we did! The most efficient and effective way to see the castle! After the castle tour, our driver, Mike, took us back to Gdansk, using a very scenic road so that we could see Polish countryside. Overall, it was a highly professional, very well-organized, zero-stress tour.
