How Long Did It Take To Build Malbork Castle?
That depends! The castle, one of Europe's largest and most impressive was under continuous construction for nearly 230 years! The castle complex is actually three castles combined, with the first brick being laid in the year 1274 when the Teutonic Knights first arrived in Prussia at the request of the Prussian Royal family to help convert the pagan tribes in the area to Christianity. The castle as we recognize it today was finished sometime in the mid-fifteenth century, but largely destroyed (roughly 50%!) during WWII, and finally restored throughout the 1950's. Malbork is presently enjoying a much more peaceful existence as one of Poland's top tourist destinations and a cardinal source of pride for the Polish people.
