Audio Guide of St. John the Baptist Church

The church is usually open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but check before your visit as hours may vary during religious ceremonies. It is located in Malbork Old Town, just a 10-minute walk from Malbork Castle. More information on the official city hall website.

Admission to the church is free, although donations for its upkeep are appreciated. Guided tours organized by third parties may have an additional cost.

A standard visit lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. If you want to admire its Gothic architecture in detail or attend a Mass, plan for more time.

Built in the 14th century under the rule of the Teutonic Knights, it is one of the few Gothic buildings that survived World War II in Malbork. It is notable for its leaning tower and medieval frescoes.

Visit between May and September to enjoy better weather. Weekday mornings are less crowded, especially if you combine the visit with nearby Malbork Castle.

The main entrance has steps and the interior includes uneven levels. For detailed accessibility information, contact the parish at +48 55 272 22 73 or [email protected].

The essential Malbork Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Market Square with its Neo-Gothic town hall, and walks along the Nogat River. All are less than a 15-minute walk away.

Dress respectfully (it is an active place of worship), avoid visiting during Masses (Sundays at 7:30 AM and 11:00 AM), and bring cash for donations. To better understand its history, consider an audio guide or guided tour.
