| The distinctive western and eastern panoramas of the castle complex also remain intact. | UNESCO |
| Other equally important attributes of Malbork, illustrating its significance as the seat of the Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order, are individual buildings of the castle complex. | UNESCO |
| The most important among them are two masterpieces of Gothic architecture: the Grand Mastersxe2x80x99 Palace and the Great Refectory in the Middle Castle. | UNESCO |

| Conservation feats of the early 20th century are principally demonstrated by buildings in the Middle Castle: St Catherinexe2x80x99s Chapel, St Bartholomewxe2x80x99s Chapel, the Grand Commanderxe2x80x99s Chambers, and the infirmary, as well as by parts of the Outer Bailey, including St Lawrencexe2x80x99s Chapel, the towers on Plauenxe2x80x99s Bulwark and the New Gate. | UNESCO |
| The post-Second-World-War reconstruction of Malbork Castle is characterised by the great care which was taken to use the extensive and detailed records of the castlexe2x80x99s conservation and restoration carried out in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. | UNESCO |
| Sustaining the Outstanding Universal Value, authenticity, and integrity of the property over time requires continuing the policies of conservation implemented at the Malbork castle complex since the mid-19th century in order to preserve the spatial and functional layout of the fortress, its panoramas, and the historic architectural features of the castle. | UNESCO |
| In order to safeguard the integrity of the castle complex with its surroundings, and to preserve the character of this property, it is necessary for all of the stakeholders involved to cooperate closely. | UNESCO |
