Malbork castle seen from the Nogat river banks

    The favourable position of the castle on the river Nogat and its relatively flat surrounding allowed for easy access by barges and trading ships, from the Vistula and the Baltic Sea. During their governance, the Teutonic Knights collected river tolls on passing ships, as did other castles along the rivers, imposing a monopoly on the trade of amber. When the city became a member of the Hanseatic League, many Hanseatic meetings were held at Marienburg (Malbork) castle.

      Great picture of this amazing fortress and capital of the Order!
      Poland bloodlessly captured Marienburg in 1457 in a rather amusing way - the fortress was bought from the Czech mercenaries, who were hired by the Teutonic Knights to defend it :)
