Architecture

Throughout World War II, until 1945, the castle in Malbork remained virtually untouched by war activities.

When, after the Battle of Grunwald, King Władysław Jagiełło and his Polish-Lithuanian troops besieged Malbork Castle, there was a traitor inside the castle who hung a red flag in the refectory window.

Under Edward VII, who took the throne in 1901, the castle was also modernized.

The basilica is considered to be Antoni Gaudi's significant architectural achievement.

A Theater, Amphitheater and Palestrina were built on the outskirts of the city.

Horace did not live to see the opening of the bridge.

It could host up to 50,000 people, although, according to the Chronograph of 354—the first illustrated codex, created by Roman scribe and stone engraver Furius Dionysius Filocalus in 354 AD—it could actually host up to 87,000 viewers.

The auditorium, which has a traditional Italian horseshoe shape, can accommodate 1979 people.

Excavation began in 1748 and continues to this day.

Designers of contemporary castles included bathrooms and toilets but ultimately abandoned them as they were considered unnecessary.
