Tombstones of grand masters of the Teutonic Order are lining the floor in Saint Anne's Chapel of the Malbork Castle in northern Poland. The Teutonic Knights were a German crusading military order invited to Poland in 1226 to help convert the Baltic Prussians to Christianity and who eventually built a powerful state along the coast of the Baltic Sea.
