Saint Anne's Chapel in the Malbork Castle
Tombstones of grand masters of the Teutonic Order are lining the floor in Saint Anne's Chapel of the Malbork Castle in northern Poland. The Teutonic Knights were a German crusading military order invited to Poland in 1226 to help convert the Baltic Prussians to Christianity and who eventually built a powerful state along the coast of the Baltic Sea.
