Snap StoriesCastle of the Teutonic Order, Malbork, Poland In what areas is the castle in Malbork record-breaking? 1) The largest brick castle in the world - a fortress so fortified that it was never conquered militarily, the inhabitants could survive 3 years without any supplies, and the monastery part was accessed by 4 bridges thrown over the water. 2) The largest kitchen hood in the world - the most exquisite food of the Middle Ages came out of the kitchen, this was confirmed by important heads of Europe at that time, it was also tasted by King Casimir the Great. 3) The largest sculpture of medieval Europe - the Malbork Madonna is over 8 meters high, it was recreated by modern conservators, covered with a mosaic containing real gold. It can be seen on the castle walls of the chapel, from under the ticket office building. Interestingly, the glass cubes were brought from Venice, and the gold elements from Gdańsk. 4) The largest number of latrines in a stronghold in the Middle Ages - even cooks had their own toilet, and cabbage leaves were often used as toilet paper, which also had medicinal properties, e.g. anti-inflammatory. 5) The largest number of wells in a castle in the Middle Ages. Interestingly, the fortress also had access to running water. 6) The oldest underfloor heating in these lands - large stones in the basement were heated in fireplaces and acted as storage furnaces. The heat escaped into the rooms through special holes in the floors. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/malbork?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malbork</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zamek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zamek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/castle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#castle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/poland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektura?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architektura</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothicarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothicarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gothic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gothic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/widok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krajobraz?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krajobraz</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krzyzacy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#krzyzacy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zakon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zakon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicorder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicorder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/teutonicknights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teutonicknights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rycerze?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rycerze</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/walls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mury?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mury</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mur</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivetower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivetower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivewall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivewall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/defensivewalls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defensivewalls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wieza?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wieza</a>

Snap StoriesCastle of the Teutonic Order, Malbork, Poland The Teutonic Knights, along with the Knights of St. John and the Knights Templar, are one of the three largest orders to emerge from the crusades of the 11th and 12th centuries. The beginning of the Malbork Castle was built between 1275 and 1300. Initially, at the end of the 12th century, the seat of the Teutonic Order was located in Acre, then from 1209 in Montfort, and finally it was moved to Malbork in 1309. From the beginning, the order wanted to conquer Pomerania and unite with Brandenburg, initially buying lands, and finally moving to open military operations against Poland. The lost Battle of Grunwald began the decline of the Teutonic Order, crowned by defeat in the Thirteen Years’ War. From 1457 to 1772 Malbork Castle became one of the residences of Polish Kings. From 1772, the castle was taken over by the Prussians and its regular devastation began. Gothic vaults and windows were demolished, cloisters were bricked up, new windows were forged, and the Palace of the Grand Masters was transformed into a cotton mill. In 1816, a major reconstruction of the castle began to restore its historical value. Not everything was rebuilt in accordance with the original, replacing the original materials with more modern ones. From 1933, the Nazi flag was hung on the Malbork Castle. This place was used for ceremonies. In 1945, after the battles for the city with the Red Army, during which the castle was turned into a point of resistance, about 70% of the buildings of the High Castle, the Middle Castle, the Tower and the castle church were completely destroyed.
