The Teutonic Castle in Malbork enlisted in the UNESCO list of the World Heritage.

 

The biggest brick gothic castle in the world.

 

It is an absolutely magic place you have to see it.

 

Built for the monks in the XIIIth century, it rather looks as a royal castle than a monastery.

 

When you wonder around the site, do not forget the three vows, the monks had to take: poverty, chastity, and obedience.

 

When you enter the interiors of the castle, you will need to repeat those vows from time, to time, especially seeing the colours - green, red and blue, whish in medieval times were the colours of... royalty.

 

Well, you might ask: where from did the monks have so much wealth to build something like that! The wealth of the Teutonic Knights came (among the others) from ... amber.

 

The Magis Stone of the Baltic. The scientists say amber is resin, fossil resin of prehistoric pine trees. Some 40 million years old.

 

But we know better amber is a teardrop of the sun. Come and see the wealth of this land come and see amber.

 

The Castle Museum has a wonderful collection of amber hand made art. From early medieval, till the  contemporary. 

 

Malbork has something more it has an unforgetful atmosphere.  

 

Come and feel it.
