Tips from the Community
A place of numerous meetings, shows, concerts, and street performances for the delight of tourists. A town square with a fountain in the shape of a knight's shield with swords, referring to medieval history. The main attraction of this place is the fountain. Water flows from almost 50 jets and "dances" to the rhythm of selected sounds. The colorful water jets provide a unique show, especially after dark. In summer, every Friday and Saturday, the historical shows of the fountain can be heard. This interesting, half-hour performance presents the history of Malbork. https://de.visitmalbork.pl/1156,Tanzender-bunter-Springbrunnen.html

The Buttermilk Tower (Wieża Maślakowa, also Recketurm) is a historical defensive tower of the city fortifications of Marienburg (Malbork). It is located on the western edge of the complex on the Nogat River and was built between 1330 and 1340 by the Teutonic Order. The Buttermilk Tower was part of the eastern defensive wall of the outer bailey and the city fortifications. Today it marks the northwestern end of the historical castle complex.

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.

The St. Adalbert Bridge (Most im. św. Wojciecha) spans the Nogat River and leads you with the very best panoramic views of Marienburg Castle to the largest brick castle in the world. It connects the modern promenade (Bulwar im. Macieja Kilarskiego) on the city side directly with the castle grounds.
