	THE RESSURECTION OF MALBORK CASTLE
		The castle was on Polish territory until 1308, when a group of returning Crusaders calling themselves the Teutonic knights seized it and made it the seat of a new state which controlled most of the wheat and amber trade going into Prussia.
		Poland's castles are an important legacy for the country to look back upon, not just for the history that they represent but also for the art in their architecture and the art in their furnishings.
		Castles like Malbork are an example of Polish culture which, by now being restored and open to the public, are a sign that Poland is recognizing that it has a long and rich culture which it can take great pride in.
