Summary
Built by German Teutonic Knights in the 13th century, Malbork Castle in Poland is the greatest fortification built by medieval knights during the Baltic Crusades. Believed to be the largest brick castle in the world, its ingenious moat system, stand-alone tower and lofty High Castle place it among the Teutonic Order's most incredible military achievements. Historian Dan Snow joins the castle at the moment it faces its ultimate threat: attack by the combined forces of King Jagiello of Poland and Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania in 1410.
