Malbork Castle


We just learned about Edinburgh Castle.

Another famous castle is Malbork Castle, built around 1300 AD in Malbork, Poland.

This is the largest castle in the world, with a land area of over 52 acres!

Long ago the castle was one of the palaces where the royal family would stay.
Because of all the wars Poland was involved in, the castle has been owned by a few different countries.

During World War II there was a lot of damage on the castle.
After Poland took the castle back they have fixed it up, and it is now a museum for people to come visit.
