Private tour of Malbork Castle

Malbork Castle was built between the 13th and 15th centuries as a main site of the Teutonic Order. They established a monastic state - the only such entity in medieval Europe. Ruled from Malbork (Marienburg) it comprised approximately 67 thousand square kilometres. The power of the Black Crosses ruled until the Battle of Grunwald (known in the history as the First Battle of Tannenberg) which took place 15th July 1410.

I shall not write all the history of the Prussian Crusades here - as it is best to hear it in an entertaining manner while sightseeing with me.

Generally - the history of the castle can illustrate the rise and fall of the Teutonic power. An absolute MUST when in Poland.

Drive to Malbork - through the Lowlands. 

Sightseeing of the castle - and a lunch break (a choice of two restaurants in the castle and one outside)

Drive back to Gdansk - or - if the group comes by train - seeing the visitors back to the train station (if they come from other town than Gdansk. Otherwise I take the visitors back to Gdansk)

Mondays - are the days closed. I.e. the museum grounds are open BUT the exhibitions are closed (except the Amber exibition).
