I am now 65 years old, and almost all my life the Castle was rebuilt after the destruction of World War II. My sister also took part in it, she was renovating the paintings on the walls...
Po co w ogóle odbudowywali tą prusacką twierdzę?
@@smerfdzikus2334 Ona była przez 300 lat we wkładaniu polskich królów i była królewską rezydencją. Trzeba tak na to patrzeć... Zresztą kawał historii jest w tych murach, Polska przeorana licznymi wojnami niewiele ma zabytków takiej klasy.
@@Natenczas_Wojski Racja. Ale to i tak źle o nas świadczy, że zamiast budować swoje zabytki, to przejmujemy cudze. Przecież to zamek niemiecki, tylko kupiony przez Polaków. Ciekawe, że za Pałac Saski jakoś się nie zabrali, mimo że to bardziej polskie niż to zamczysko.
@@smerfdzikus2334 Ależ zabrali się za Pałac Saski! A po drugie - czy Zamek Książ albo Czocha powinniśmy po wojnie pozostawić własnemu losowi, bo to nie nasze? Ja uważam, że nie; do tej pory te obiekty nadawałyby się wyłącznie do urbexu.
@@smerfdzikus2334 Zdecyduj się czy to jest prusacka twierdza czy niemiecka?
Po tym zamku to można łazić cały dzień, a i tak wszystkiego nie zobaczysz i dokładnie nie poznasz.
The problem was the Prussians (Baltic people), who attacked the northern areas of Masovia. It was a time of division of Poland's districts. Each region of Poland was ruled by a prince from the Piast dynasty. Masovia was ruled by Prince Konrad I of Masovia. It was he who gave the Teutonic Knights the Chełmno land (1226) in exchange for fighting against Prussia. And so the problems began, first for Mazovia, Pomerania, and then for the entire country.
One mistake that decided the future of Poland. We have been raising a viper on our own chest.
@@0plp0 Teutonic Order straight betray Poland.
Malbork to fascynujące miejsce na mapie Europy, jeszcze w towarzystwie fascynujących przewodników to sama przyjemność. Super i dziękuję !
Had a good time visiting this castle, it's massive and very well rebuilt considering what happened in WW II. An unforgettable piece of history.
Tak, to zajmuje sporo czasu, mój 9-letni syn popłakał się na dziedzińcu, gdy okazało się, że jesteśmy dopiero w połowie zwiedzania :)
Greetings from Hungary.
Rob, you could be a presenter! You have a radio voice and you can speak intriguingly.
I hope I have the looks to be on TV 😂
@@CharlieandRob Don't be so harsh on yourself 😜
Rob is the best❤
Haha thanks!
Great video as always :) I have been to Malbork Castle in 2017 with my boyfriend, when he was visiting for the first time from Canada. We were walking around with the audio guide for about 5-6h XD We have had the best tomato soup in a diner/bistro in Malbork on the way from the castle to the railway station XD
Comment for stats
haha amazing. We stopped at MaccyDs :D
6:40 well Rob, actualy, that siege back in 1410 after Grundwald failed to take the castle... Malbork was in Teutonic hands up to: 1457. Casmir the IV (who eventualy took it from Teutons) was the son of Władisław II (Jagiełło) who crushed Teutons at Grunwald... these 2 events were almost 50 years apart ;)
Akurat pierwszy raz w życiu byłam w Malborku w tym roku w Marcu.Niesamowity zamek, bardzo mi się podobał:>
The reason you had to stand in the train was probably because you did buy tickets at the last minute. There are normal sitting tickets. The standing ones are only sold when the sitting ones are out.
I been in uk... Full of castles but in ruin... Why? Plz Rob... Ok next time u must visit east Poland. 4 few days. Zamość Chełm Lublin Kazimierz... You get fly back from Lublin airport.
It's on the list 😊 Erm, cost of upkeep, war. I can only assume
The castle is awesome. And by the way you two did a great job, one of your best film on the channel.
Thank you 😊
I like your film and comments. „Tectonic” order was one of the reason PLC was erected. The castle was ruined by Russians, but Poles are good in rebuilding stuff. I love Malbork 🏰.
Teutonic
My city ❤❤ just back to Scotland two weeks ago. Amazing castle. Worthy to visit at night.
You could visit Frombork with its Cathedral Hill. Place of work and death of Nicolaus Copernicus. I do recommend it! It is not so far away from Tricity and Malbork.
Exactly - Frombork is unknown pearl. Very worth seeing and not only for learning something about Copernicus. There is much more to offer and not mant tourists, which is good if You would like rest and contemplate.
It was really nice to see you in Malbork 😊 Have you been to Książ Castle in Lower Silesia? I would recommend it.
Unfortunately we havnt been there
@@CharlieandRob
In refer to Książ Castle, please check - Mary Theresa Olivia Cornwallis-West, British princess, who lived there. One of Her sons - Alexander was personal guard and assistant for general Wladyslaw Sikorski, once He was commanding Polish Army from London.
Poland and Grat Britain have much more common history then most people think.
@@CharlieandRob Książ castle looks spectacular, specially during sunny autumn or moonlight night. Gardens are amazing too. You can stay in nearby hotel with night access to the castle square. Highly recommended ❤ Once owned by one of the richest families in Europe.
If you're up for a visit in smaller castles/ruins AND have a hike in beautiful nature, maybe even jump around some rocks, I recommend Trail of the Eagles' Nest. Ogrodzieniec, Mirów & Bobolice, Ojców etc.
The view on the castle from the other side of Nogat river is great, worth seeing apart from the castle itself. ❤
Great vid and great choice of music 👍
Urodziłam się w Malborku -❤ lubię swoje miasto,ale od kilku lat mieszkam w Niemczech.
Nice castle and informative video. I was unaware it was the largest castle.
Well now you know 😜
Zamek zbudowali Krzyżacy, a po drugiej wojnie światowej odbudowali Polacy. W internecie można zobaczyć zdjęcia w jakim był stanie.
You should go and check Książ Castle as well.
You should try visit other castle Krasiczyn ,its very beautyful
Frombork, Krasiczyn, Książ (home for British princess - Daisy), Chojnik, Moszna, Ogrodzieniec (place from Witcher TV series), Chęciny, Bobolice, Grodziec, Grodno, and many, many more.
For example Kórnik Castle can be very interesting for You because not only have some connection with Britain by family, who was the owners, but also look very British (it was special design for this purpouse).
Hello, I have never been on a trip to Malbork because I know everything you said from history lessons and such a trip is boring for us. However, I was at the castle in Malbork and in all places inaccessible to tourists because you can go counting bats once a year with hyropterologists. I am a biologist and throughout my studies I went to count sleeping bats in caves, ruins and castles, and in Malbork they gave us the keys and no one watched us. Only once did we need the help of museum workers when we descended on ropes to the well in the courtyard to count the bats that were on the walls and in the wall cracks of the well.
14:58 guided tour with tour guide takes ~2,5-3hrs, if i recall correctly... but once tour is over you can go and check every single room by yourself ;)
Thanks for that video......
You are now officially Malbork guides for foreigners. ;-)
Haha well hopefully non-poles will learn from our video
@@CharlieandRob Poles like me thank you 😀
Hello, sending warm regards to you. Great video as always 😊.
Thank you! 😃
It`s enjoyable to watch, you`re really good at creating such content!
Thank you! We are simply learning ourselves!
Super!
Back 37 years ago I was there as a kid during summer time on the evening they had a spectacle with actors and sound system it was amassing you could hear horses and knights fighting. Also that well on the court square was open we were dropping rocks took 17 counts before rock did the splash.
I saw an amber chess set in Krakow, that was about 12k £. I bet that's on the lower side too.
Wow! I am really surprised. Castles are My passion and this one is very special. I have been there many times and always I was able to find something new.
I do not know if You ever heard, but this is one of the most haunted places in Poland.
Lots of ghosts, which can catch You when You are walking there during the night...
👻👹👿👾
I have to visit Malbork again, 'cause i've not been there for a 15 years! Thank you for a nice vlog. Poland rocks 🤍❤
You had to stand on a train? Nowadays this happens only when you buy a ticket for a train with all seats sold out (by which I mean that despite the lack of seats you decide to take that train anyway and buy a ticket; it grants you the trip, but no seat) or when the ticket selling computer system and the crew which assembled the train are not on the same page (e.g. they use a car with compartments which have 6 seats instead of 8 and it's your seat or compartment that's missing or they don't attach your car at all - happened to me once). Glad you liked the castle!
Yes we did. It was a bit confusing as we just asked for a ticket to Malbork.
Hello, I invite you to visit us in Warmia, in Olsztyn in the castle
Kochani!
To teraz zamek w Kwidzynie ❤
I wonder when you visited. A train that full is not normal. Was it an end of a long weekend (Sunday) with people returning from the seaside? And the train was probably heading for Warsaw or Olsztyn. Actually in the morning, I would take a local train terminating in Malbork or Elbląg. It stops on every station so it would be an hour to reach Malbork but after 9:00 a.m. it would be almost empty.
Super movie! I am going to Malbork with my son in July, when there will be holidays. This is one of my favorite places.😊🙋💓
Pozdrawiam serdecznie ❤️👍
Great knowledge guys! You know more than me and I’m Polish…but living in Australia,last time I was there in Malbork was 40 years ago! Certainly I will want you to guide me!👍
haha glad you enjoyed!
Both of you are great tour guides👋👋☝☝Have you considered doing this as a part- time job?😁
Not tour guides but I would love to be on TV!
@@CharlieandRob on British TV or Polish TV? As a private producer selling your films to various broadcasters? Actually, I used to watch a program about interesting places in Poland hosted by some black foreigner on Polish TV. His films were more focused on local culture and traditions than architecture, but it was quite interesting to watch a black guy speaking Polish with a strong foreign accent talking about local artists in some Polish remote villages. I do not watch TV any more so don't know if this program is still broadcast/ Now I watch YT channels only.
But to get a wider audience on YT with your tourist content , focus on Poland only may be too little.
@@dorotabarbowska2184 Any TV :)
Byliście w moim mieście 😱 a tak to bym was przywitał 😮
13:13 not realy directly to the ground, but directly to the Nogat river ;)
Malbork jest największym zamkiem, ale z cegły! Internety ignorują ten szczegół. Malbork obok zamku w Jodhpur wygląda jak przybudówka
Dziękuję
Largest BRICK castle.
It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area
Thank you, that was amazing! Not impressed by the German-name-speaking thing, but it must be der britisch Humor. Thanks again!
If u gonna visit Oświęcim mark me :) I will take u for some beer and good story :)
The train you took at the beginning was one of the oldest and least comfortable. We have better trains in Poland, I swear! The only thing is they're all infamous for being always late, LOL.
haha
the largest Brick castle on the world, because there is bigger castle on the world but was build from different material like stone
It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area
@@CharlieandRob different perspective :)
Fascinating about the amber 👍🙂. I wonder if that castle has a puzzle depicting it's red brick exterior. It would be so hard to complete 😳😖. Absolutely stunning architecture inside and out, just wow 👌.
I certainly knew nothing of how amber was even made before hand
Great video, well shot with a perfectly fitting soundtrack. It is beautiful and very informative.
Thank you 😊
the soundtrack selection is really a great job in itself.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie
👍👍👍
The Tectonic Order :D
haha yes a slight fault of mine!
@@CharlieandRob Sounds like some Cyberpunk faction :)
👍👍👍👍
Imagine the upkeep ....😳😅
Well that's why they have lots of tourists these days! 😁
those poor vines cut at the foot horrible cruelty
How far back does Poland go
As Poland it goes back to 966 so second half of 10th century but the tribes were here for way longer, and oldest human bones in this area dates back around 30 to 40 thousand years.
Okay, I have a question. What made you interested in Poland?
I came with a friend in 2012 and been fascinated ever since :)
@@CharlieandRob
That's fantastic.
Good luck in the fight a language learning ...
Polecam, Oświęcim i oczywiście Panoramę Racławicka
Great video! Is it ever awkward to vlog in public, especially Poland ?
calm down, Poles keep their distance, record it if you like it
@@krzysztoferwin32 jestem bardzo spokojny i wiem jacy są Polacy. Spędziłem z nimi całe życie 😆.
@@03817 to po co to pytanie ?
@@krzysztoferwin32 Z ciekawości..
@@03817 ???
😁💪👍
Isn't Disneyland (Florida) the biggest castle in the world ??
Bro, that‘s a German castle.
Malbork is the largest BRICK castle, so I guess there are larger castles, but not made of bricks
It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area
7 funciaków za 30 minut koleją? coś z tym wypadałoby zrobić...
swans not pelicans
Not the largest castle in the world. The largest BRICK castle in the world.
It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area
Ci Krzyżowcy z tego zamku to byli Templariusze
"Tectonic" order - bauahahaha
Haha I noticed I said that twice accidentally. So in the subtitles it says it correctly. Was hoping no one noticed 🤣
7£ and I moan about standing 😂
Średnio mi się podobało gdyż dużo nieprawd podaliście w swoim przekazie "historycznym". Następnym razem więcej wiedzy lub mniej historii.
Ok, we'll give me some of the untruths I told
@@CharlieandRob chociażby to że oblężenie Malborka Polakom i Litwinom się nie udało po bitwie pod Grunwaldem i dopiero po ok. 47 latach nie opłacona załoga zaciężnych żołnierzy chyba czeskich otworzyła bramy przed Polakami za odpowiednią opłatę. Mimo to zakon nie upadł jeszcze wtedy. Krzyżaków sprowadził Książe Mazowiecki na ziemię chełmińską by pomagać w walce z plemionami pruskimi. P kilka innych.
@@CharlieandRobJust don't bother guys, some people will always have issues with everything. You're not a historical channel and even if there are mistakes you were just sharing your experience with others and told things most of the people had no idea about. Keep it up, there is nothing to be sorry for. 💪💪💪
iam not masivly impessed on u haricut? wht is ur point?
Haha bit rude. What's wrong with it?
A tobie o co chodzi?
He is a troll. I've read some of his comments i different channels. All rude...@@CharlieandRob
Poland is just a big concentration camp 😢😢😢😢
Wow that's rude
Pathetic comment.
No to teraz wiesz gdzie nie przyjeżdżać. Nie ma po co.
from israel? welcome
@lilykedar2720 question = are you an idiot or are you pretending?😂😂😂
Oglądałem z zapartym tchem. Dziękuję :)
I could show where I found my first panzerfaust there
Pozdrawiam ❤
We have better castle than this...maybe he is big but not looks special :]castle- zamek so Zamek w Mosznej, Książ, Czocha, Dunajec and other
