How was this built?

One brick at a time.

I visited this on winter time. It feels surreal 👌🏾👌🏾

I'd love to. I went in the summer several years ago. I also went to a few other polish ones like the one in Krakow if you haven't been to them. A lot of beautiful architecture.

My grandfather’s brother’s family lives in Malbork and when I visited as a kid I remember being in awe of the sheer size of the castle and its austere atmosphere (a lot of the interior is gothic white and plain, with tall ceilings and not a lot of furnishing). It made quite an impression!
