All you need to know about visiting the largest castle in the WORLD! Welcome to Malbork, Poland!

I had passed this castle on the train the day before so decided it was worth a closer look. Without knowing much about it I jumped on another train for the short journey from Gdańsk. Why not join me and see how easy it is to get to such a historic and HUGE castle!
I visited on Friday 12th May 2023.

I had no idea that the world's biggest castle was in Poland, you learn something new everyday

[@kstempniak]

As far as i can tell „Biggest brick made castle” is not „biggest castle in the World”.

[@imcbocian]

​@@kstempniakStones castles usually tends to be smaller becouse they usually was build in mountain areas. You just build with what you have around. And there were no stones nearby 🙂 Still, there are no bigger castle anywhere, regardless of the material it is made of.

[@mattthehamster]

It's the biggest medieval castle

Fun fact: Malbork castle was actually much bigger in size but over centuries many of the additional buildings and fortifications were taken down for free bricks. Also soviets destroyed much of it. IIRC current size is 1/3 of it's original size.

[@englishatheart]

Its* original size. 😛

[@grevel1376]

Malbork is my home city, I live here for 18 years now. My dad works as a castle guide and a year ago I worked there as a person who looks after the exhibitions (my first job ever). I've seen lots of familiar faces in your video. It's a pity you missed the tower! With a good weather you could see a few of Gdańsk's building tops, and a beautiful Żuławy's landscape. If you plan to come back in a few years, I'd also suggest exiting with the actual exit (I completely agree that the museum lacks proper signs and a map, the exit is almost invisible for a tourist.) There you could see some basements and walk through the moat, between the middle and higher castle, observe some stunning vegetation and possibly meet some local cats that live there. You would exit by the west gate (the wooden one where the bored kids were spending their money.) I love the video! I think it captures the experience really well!

[@mirekbns]

I went to Malbork castle and was truly impressed. Much of it was destroyed by the Russians when the front line rolled through at the end of WW2. The territory surrounding the castle went back and forth between Poland and Germany throughout history but now it's finally again in Poland. Definitely worth a trip and they have guided tours in English for the ultimate experience. Thank you for the video!

Steve, loving all your Polish content, I'm married to a Pole for 15 years now& so we are backwards & forwards all the time & have been to almost all your destinations on your travels in Poland .Upon knowing you was to visit Malbork Castle I was hoping you would be visiting by train as I just knew you would have to comment on the stunning Malbork train station, ! it truly is fantastic beats my local Leeds City Station that's for sure. The Polish trains are great ways to zig zag all over the land. One interesting point I'd like to make is I found out a few years ago that one of my relatives from Halifax West Yorkshire is buried in the Malbork Commonwealth war Cemetery so had to go pay my respects after being killed in Gadansk Harbour back in 1920 while serving in the Royal Navy. I believe I was the first relative to visit his resting place 100 years after his passing .A very proud moment indeed for me.The Castle as you now is a fantastic place to visit.

[@peterdean8009]

I thought Prague Castle was excellent, but Malbork is superb. Dziękuję bardzo, Pan Steve.

[@gerdforster883]

The thing about Malbork/Marienburg is that it was always way bigger than it needed to be. It was less of a fortress (even though it was built to the highest standards of medieval technology), but more of a statement. "Look at us, we are the Teutonic Order, and we are so filthy rich, we can afford to build this thing in a swamp in the middle of nowhere!"

[@publicminx]

one has also to keep in mind that there are many different castle types for different purposes. that an ORDER built such a castle/settlement structure is not surprising. most castles were not created by orders ...

[@Ne0nV0id]

I was in Malbork castle a few times, once on a school trip and (I think it was about) 4 times with my parents, because we drive through Malbork anyways while going on vacation. It's trully beautifull, tours with guides can be even 6h long walks around both inside and outside. It's a really beautifull and cool place to visit

When I was teenager, instead of going to school, I took a train and went to Malbork to see the castle. This happened a few times as I liked it so much. Luckily my parents never found out.

[@gerardphelan7996]

With friends I visited this castle on a Thursday in June 2009. Sadly on that day the castle was closed. HOWEVER, even though closed, we could then still walk through the grounds and courtyards, which are extensive AND we were able to take the lift to the top of the tower, which involved walking through a number of internal corridors and rooms, so getting a view of what was inside. The view from the tower provides an amazing overview of the current and former extent of the castle.

[@SkyMaciej]

Steve, regarding your train travel to Malbork from Gdańsk you have two choices: The one which you took: Intercity train which is the only long-distance operator in Poland. When taking those trains look at their classes (TLK, IC, EIC, EIP). Two last ones are really expensive and serve as a high-speed way of travel, while the first two are cheaper but stop every 30 minutes on some mid-sized cities. You travelled with TLK, which is by far the worst standard. If you travel with IC, comparments would have 6 seats in second class. Also there would by AC, power sockets and reclinable seats, but you are much more likely to get non-compartment wagon in those trains - they mainly consist of non-compartment wagons. Second option is to use a Regional train (POLREGIO). They can't be sell out. There is no seat reservation and they consist of electric units - during peak hours they are connected with 2 electric units. Of course they can be packed sometimes, but they are pretty spacious to walk through. Priceswise, the regional train is a little bit cheaper but runs 15 minutes longer (around 1 hours instead of 45 minutes)

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much for this info!

[@Aldrenas]

@@steve-marsh What is worth mention, there's no lottery with seating at all. You can specify order open space car or compartment. Try that next time, see ya.

[@ukaszhabdas9950]

Still you have to love prices for such travel by train... not all of the trains are yet to western standards ... yet we don't have those killer prices like you get in uk... they are ridiculous.... its cheaper and quicker to fly from south to North of England than taking a train...

[@dispen275]

This 8 people compartments tell me you most propably took a TLK train. IC standard for 2nd class is now 6 and compartments are far less common in general. Avoid TLK if you can afford it. As we say in Poland, the only certain luxury in the TLK is for it to have wheels. Those are the lines where PKP IC dumps its old rolling stock.
