How to get destinations for worldschoolers?

Worldschooling is all about travelling the globe to experience new and different cultures, geography, and history. While reading books and learning in a classroom can be effective, taking the classroom beyond the four walls can be much more entertaining and freeing for the students. When committing to a world schooling way of life, you and your family are dedicated to going out to explore all the world has to offer. A number of trips you can plan are endless. Here are 3 of the most intriguing destinations for world schoolers.

#1 The World’s Largest Castle (by surface area)in Malbork, Poland

What better place for a student to learn about history, culture, and architecture then the biggest castle in all of the world? Worldschoolers can find this building located in Malbork, Poland. This fortress was built by the Teutonic Knights, a Catholic order, with completion taking place in 1406. It was established as a World Heritage Site in December of 1997.

The amount of history that occurred inside this castle is monumental. From when it was originally built, there has been a constant flow of events that have taken place at this location. Students visiting the historic monument can learn about how it was used for a place for barges and trading ships to land, a home for various royalty, and even a place Hitler utilised when he commanded the Nazis, among a plethora of other things.

During WWII over half of the castle was destroyed in battle. Following the war, the castle was back in Poland’s possession and the rebuilding began. The main cathedral of the castle was reconstructed right before the war and then destroyed. It still sits in ruins today for visitors to see. Following the fire of 1959, construction has been ongoing. Even though there has been an abundance of events that have caused damages to various parts of the structure over the years, it is still the largest brick building located in all of Europe. This makes it an ideal place for world schoolers to visit.

Along with learning more about history, and architecture at the Malbork, Poland castle, world schoolers will have the opportunity to discover more about the Polish culture and Catholic religion.
