Siege of Malbork 2025

We invite you to one of the most important historical events of this summer.

On 18-20 July 2025, Malbork is set to host a spectacular reconstruction of the siege of the castle, which shall take us back to medieval times. 

As every year, there will be a medieval fair, and numerous activities are to be available around the entire castle.
