Malbork Castle

Malbork Castle is a vast Brick Gothic castle complex on the Nogat river in northern Poland, built and expanded by the Teutonic Order from the late 13th to the early 15th century. It is the largest brick castle in the world by land area and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the complex comprises High, Middle and Lower Castles with multiple defensive walls, towers and service ranges.

As it stood in 1406

The shape it held in its prime.

A sprawling red‑brick Gothic fortress of contiguous ranges and curtain walls set on the Nogat riverbank, composed of three linked sections (High, Middle and Lower Castles). Long crenellated curtain walls punctuated by round, conical‑roofed towers and square keeps rise behind reed-lined riverbanks. Steep red clay-tiled roofs, stepped gables and clustered brick buildings fill the interior courts; at its prime all walls, towers and roofs were complete and roofed with patterned tiles.
