Malbork
The High-Quality Tourist Services Zone
We have set ourselves the goal of creating a new image for Malbork through
further development of its tourist attractions. Malbork will soon become a place
where visitors will want to come for longer stays. With this aim in mind, the
town authorities have designated a High-Quality Tourist Services Zone around
the Malbork Castle.
The main undertakings involved in developing this zone are as follows:
- construction of the Town Forum - a "new market square";
- construction of a summer theatre;
- development of the pedestrian area on ul. Kosciuszki;
- development of the boulevards along the castle walls of the Old Town;
- re-landscaping of the North Park;
- renovation of the Old Town walls, with restoration of the historic features
of the walls in the panorama of the town as seen from the river Nogat;
- revitalifation of the layout of the Old Town.
The High-Quality Tourist Services Zone around Malbork Castle covers an area
of approximately 170 ha in the immediate vicinity of the Castle Museum.
In the remainder of the Zone, areas will shortly be designated for developments
which, in
view of their location, will be of interest even to the most demanding investors.
Together with small cafts, restaurants, landing stages and water sports equipment
rentals located along the banks of the Nogat, they will con-stitute a perfect
place for citizens' and tourists' recreation.
Town Forum is a central element of the Zone and comprises:
- Cultural-conference centre,
- Business centre,
- Hotel with highly developed recreation/sporting functions,
- Catering (restaurants, bars),
- Retail/service centre,
- Art and artisans workshop,
- Tourist Information Office open all year.
The location and the project characteristics mean that it is of such significance
for the town. The project is to be realised by employing the method of public-private
partnership and in particular the Company for Special Purposes (SSP), which
is going to be established by the town and private investors.
We welcome all investors interested in real estate with a very attractive
location close to Malbork Castle.
The trail of the Polish Gothic Castles
Malbork is the main attraction on the trail of Polish
Gothic Castles. Starting with Bytow, through Gniew, Nowe, Kwidzyn, Sztum, Malbork,
Ostroda, Nidzica, Olsztyn, Lidzbark Warmihski and Ryn, it is worth visiting the
most interesting architectural medieval structures. In each of those towns you
can find a frag¬ment of the castles' common history, spend the night within austere
castle walls, watch the spectacles and shows of knights fighting, and in the evening
discover corners of the building not available in the daytime and celebrate until
morning with traditional Polish cuisine, old music and the scent of candles. To
visit all the castles on the trail and to have an adventure stepping back to the
times of swords, crossbows and axes fights, you only need a few days. You can
get there by train, bicycle or car, and each castle will welcome the guest with
the unique charm of the Middle Ages.
