During my recent brief trip to Poland we went to Malmbork castle as I really wanted to see the headquarters of the Teutonic order having read about them when I was younger.
We went on a rainy day but I still got some great pics – turned out I took nearly 300 pictures haha. The castle was badly damaged during WW2, but has been restored and some parts of it have been finished just recently – such as the large chapel standing in the old part of the castle. I can't recommend this castle enough as you get immense value for money. The entry tickets were around 40PLN per person "during season" however there are no extra fees anywhere in the castle except for the clocktower if you want to go up and watch the view. You get a superb audioguide in English which has a built in GPS so that the audio guide tells you stuff about your current room and location, and you don't have to walk with a big group of people – Caroline and I walked by ourselves and our tour of the castle took roughly 3 hours! The place is huge!! Check my blog for the first 137 pictures. Tomorrow I will post the rest which includes the armory collection and pictures from the inner castle. link

Watched a programme I recorded ages ago about this castle last week. Looks like an amazing place. |

"Heavily damaged" but still mostly "up". It really did get the  shot out of it during The War! Thanks for the pics. I hadn't heard of it before either. That octagonal tower appears to have made it through with only a few "scratches"…. |

Pic 29: OUCH! I have definitely seen pic 126 before, or rather, the barrel helm it depicts. That must be a famous artifact. |
