Culture Critic My favorite will always be the red-brick design of Malbork Castle (formerly Marienburg) in Poland.

It was the HQ of the Teutonic Order

In 1959, a severe fire caused more damage to the already suffering castle. Since 1962 much of the castle has been reconstructed.

Malbork Castle still remains to this day as the largest brick complex in Europe.
