Located in the middle of Warsaw and Gdansk, Marlborough, built in the 12th century, is a castle that bears witness to Polands honor and disgrace. It is a member of the United Nations-rated World Cultural Heritage List and is the largest brick building and Goth in Europe. The castle is still the only castle ruins built by the Teutonic Knights.
Marburg German means "the castle of the Virgin Mary", but in fact its name is "Tedonic Aldo Castle", but for the convenience of memory, we still call her "Marlborough Castle" Put it. This typical Prussian red brick castle stands on the banks of the river from the Middle Ages. From the other side of the river, Huahua can see this vermilion full-brick building. It is very huge. Compared with the exquisite and magnificent "castle" in our minds, there is a strong and quaint masculinity here.
From the outer castle to the middle castle, it will pass through a moat, and the suspension bridge on the river is still free to rise and fall. The castle has a huge highlight in
, which is its monastery dining room. This is the largest medieval restaurant in Europe, with the functions of a conference hall and a ballroom. The entire dining room used only three thin columns to support the three-dimension vault, which is enough to show the cutting-edge technology of 14th-century European architecture. In the dining room, there is a well-preserved 14th-century Madonna mural, where hundreds of monks can be seen dining together.
The Church of the Virgin Mary, which has just reopened, reveals the classic 14th-century style. Many solemn and exquisite statues stand on the walls of the church and the altar is holy.
