847 PL - Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork (1997)

Brief Description

"This 13th-century fortified monastery belonging to the Teutonic Order was substantially enlarged and embellished after 1309, when the seat of the Grand Master moved here from Venice. A particularly fine example of a medieval brick castle, it later fell into decay, but was meticulously restored in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the conservation techniques now accepted as standard were evolved here. Following severe damage in the Second World War it was once again restored, using the detailed documentation prepared by earlier conservators."
马尔堡的条顿骑士团城堡

"这个13世纪带有堡垒防御功能的修道院属于当时的 条顿骑士团，当国王的居所于1309年从威尼斯移到这里后，这个城堡也得以扩建和重修。它是中世纪砖制城堡的杰出代表。在以后的数年里，城堡日渐衰败，到 19世纪和20世纪初期，细致地修复了原貌。当今作为标准被接受的许多文物保护技巧是从这里演变而来的。该城堡在二战时期又被严重毁坏，但是后人根据第一 次修复时留下来的详细资料再次修复了这个文化遗产。"
