9. Malbork

The peaceful, medieval town of Malbork, is mostly known for its striking defence fort surrounding Malbork Castle - widely recognised as one of the most beautiful castles in Poland. This ancient, medieval masterpiece was once a place where the kings of Poland ruled the country. This grandiose and mysterious Teutonic stronghold is built of red brick, making it the largest brick castle in the world. It is actually a complex of three castles, numerous gates and towers and a giant, protective fort.
