The medieval seat of the city administration was located on the eastern side of the market square. The town hall acquired its current form in the second half of the 14th century, around 1380. The building was rebuilt after each destruction during the siege of the city and the castle, especially in the 15th century. The structural changes are particularly evident on the late Gothic southern gable. The town hall was a witness to numerous municipal celebrations for centuries. In the 19th century, the necessary restoration work was carried out on the facades and the destroyed fragments of the tracery were supplemented. https://de.visitmalbork.pl/956,Altstadtrathaus.html

The St. Mary's Gate - Brama Mariacka - is one of the distinctive historical city gates of Malbork. Formerly known as the Ferry Gate, it connected the city to the south towards Marienwerder and Thorn. The Brick Gothic style is clearly recognizable, and the renovated complex today forms an atmospheric entrance to the old town. The gate is a short, rewarding stop and a quiet glimpse into the medieval city structure before continuing to the Malbork Castle or along the Nogat river.

Malbork Castle is a medieval Teutonic Knights castle built in the 13th century. It lies on the Nogat River, an estuary of the Vistula River, near the Polish town of Malbork (German: Marienburg). From 1309 to 1454, the castle served as the seat of the Grand Masters of the Order within the Teutonic Order. Afterward, with brief interruptions from 1457 to 1772, it belonged to Polish Prussia, a province of the Kingdom of Poland, and served as the residence of Polish kings. During this period, the castle was also temporarily under Swedish control. After the partition of Poland, the castle became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1772, and after the Second World War, it became part of Poland. The extensive castle complex is the largest brick building in Europe. The UNESCO World Heritage Site houses several exhibitions and can be visited year-round on snow-free days."
