Quite too plain.
Oh, and it's not "crusader" - it's the capital of the so-called Teutonic Order (In polish: "Zakon Szpitala Najświętszej Marii Panny Domu Niemieckiego w Jerozolimie". In english: "Order of the Teutonic House of Mary in Jerusalem". In Latin: "Ordo domus Sanctę Marię Theutonicorum Ierosolimitanorum". Commonly known as "Order of the Cros".). It had little to do with crusades in these times, you know...
Do a little reading, or use googls/wikipedia. Be professional, and don't write nonsense.

Aha... a ty mi tu nie pierdol po angielsku, ze to nie zamek Krzyzacki, bo zakon Teutonski powstal przez nich, ktorzy sie zebrali praktycznie w tych regionach Europy wracajac z Jerozolimy. Oprocz tego reklamuja ten zamek dla turystow jako Krzyzacki. To co ty piszesz jest tak samo poprawne, jak to, co ja napisalem. Pozdrowienia z Nadrenii.

The order was always like that. It only changed it's base and region of operations, as you could say. They weren't gathering, they've just lost their territory in the eastern regions, and were banished from Siedmiogrod.
And: What you wrote was _wrong_. This is no crusader castle, because that cause was already dead, when it was built. Even if you call conquering Prusy and Pomorze a crusade, which is also wrong. It was conquering, under the cover of war with pagans and chistianisation.
I suggest reading dome history books. Like Runciman's "History of Crusades", and the history of the order, by Karol Górski.
The popular polish name for the order is "Zakon Krzyżacki". In english the popular one is "Teutonic Order", or "German Order".

P.S. I'm writing in english, to be polite. I don't have anything to hide, and i'd like to be understood. If you have problems with english, use a dictionary.
