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.

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.

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." Wikipedia - Malbork (Ordensburg) This castle is without a doubt a highlight. Anyone who is even remotely nearby should definitely stop by.
