A place of numerous meetings, shows, concerts and street performances to the delight of tourists. City square with a fountain in the shape of a knight's shield with swords, referring to medieval history. The main attraction of this place is the fountain. The water flows from almost 50 jets and "dances" to the rhythm of selected sounds. The colorful water jets provide a unique show, especially after dusk. In summer, every Friday and Saturday, the historical shows of the fountain resound. In this interesting, half-hour performance, the history of Marienburg is shown. https://de.visitmalbork.pl/1156,Tanzender-bunter-Springbrunnen.html

The monument was erected in the pedestrian zone in 2010 and shows the figure of King Casimir IV. Andreas with a sceptre in his hand. The sculpture, with a height of 348 cm, was cast entirely from bronze. This is a monument to the Polish king, who, with his triumphant entry into Malbork in June 1457, initiated the so-called Polish times, which lasted for 315 years. The monument to King Casimir IV. Andreas was intended to commemorate the Polish history of the city. https://de.visitmalbork.pl/1155,Denkmal-fr-Knig-Kasimir-den-4-Andreas.html

The Malbork sign is a striking photo motif on the southern edge of the old town - a modern welcome point that offers you a clear moment of orientation. Located directly on easily walkable paths, it is suitable as a short stop on tours between Marienburg, the Nogat promenade, and the surrounding parks. More symbol than sight, but a nice place for a break and a quick souvenir photo.

On June 8, 1457, the Polish King Kazimierz IV Jagiellonczyk rode into Marienburg Castle (Malbork), after Poland had taken possession of it from Teutonic mercenaries and was paid homage by the citizens of the city. This event marked the beginning of the "Polish era" in the city. The reign was to last for over three hundred years until the first partition of Poland by Prussia and Russia in 1772. The reign of King Casimir (Kazimierz in English) is considered the beginning of the Polish Golden Age, when the Jagiellon dynasty became one of the greatest Polish dynasties. Kazimierz was the second son of Wladyslaw II Jagiello, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, who took Christian baptism and married the Polish Queen Jadwiga, thus uniting the two nations in an alliance that was to be the first of a series of ultimately fatal cases to be dealt with in English: cases to be dealt with in English: www.germnews.de/archive/dn/1995/02/15.html

The centre of Malbork is primarily the Teutonic castle, the largest brick fortress in the world, listed on the UNESCO list. In the area you will also find a market square with a historic town hall and tenement houses, as well as a promenade with numerous cafes and restaurants. In the season, it is worth setting aside more time for a walk along the boulevard on the Nogat River, from where there is a great view of the castle. For cyclists, a good solution is to leave your bike at the castle, because the tour takes place on foot and lasts several hours.
