Tips from the Community
The water tower on Słowiański Square in Marienburg (Malbork) was built when the water and sewage pipes were laid in the city. The brick building was erected on a high, octagonal stone base. The cylindrical tower was divided at the corners of the base by narrow pilasters. The building has three floors, each with one room. The water tank and the spiral staircase have been preserved to this day. https://de.visitmalbork.pl/1121,Wasserturm-am-Slowianski-Platz.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.

Super great castle

Malbork station, opened in 1852 and later expanded in the Old German style, remains the most important gateway to the city and the famous Marienburg. The historic building survived World War II largely unscathed and was carefully renovated in 2010–2012, preserving its original appearance. Inside, decorative details and a pleasantly clear layout are noticeable. The station is an ideal starting point: good connections, short distances to the castle, and a fitting start for tours along the Nogat.

The former malting plant in Nowy Staw is one of the most characteristic, although currently decaying, monuments in the Malbork district (Pomeranian Voivodeship). The facility was erected in the 1880s and underwent modernization between 1927 and 1930. Unfortunately, the complex of buildings is currently in very poor technical condition. The property is privately owned and has been falling into ruin for years. The facility is not open to visitors.

Great facility, and very well maintained. The nearby campsite makes it really convenient to visit with a campervan.

Nice resting area after the castle. Can be passed unnoticed if you cycle in your thoughts. :)

The station building was built in 1891 in the Old German style as a stop on the Royal Eastern Railway route from Berlin to Königsberg. It survived World War II without significant damage; only after the liberation of Malbork in 1945, the Prussian coat of arms inside the station was replaced with a Polish one. Between 2010 and 2012, the station underwent a thorough renovation, including modernization of the station, while preserving the building's original appearance.
