Re: Quiz:How well do you know the castles of the world?

Lucky enough to visit Malbork Castle last Autumn. Train ride from Gdansk and a phenomenal place. Largest Castle in Europe. One photo can’t do it justice.

Just been watching our win at OT where they said it was our first win there since 1962.
If we win against Citeh and Liverpool, on neutral ground, would you call it an away win?
