Malbork, Poland.

The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork is the largest castle in the world by surface area. It was built by the Teutonic Knights in Marienburg, Prussia (now Malbork in Poland) in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The town which grew around it was also named Marienburg. The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress. On its completion in 1406, it was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site.
In Polish it is zamek w Malborku, and in German Ordensburg Marienburg.
