<div><br><b>The Castle in Malbork (German: Ordensburg Marienburg, Polish: Zamek w Malborku) was built in Prussia by the Teutonic Order as an Ordensburg.</b> It was named Marienburg, literally "Mary's Castle". The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress; it is the world"s largest brick gothic castle and one of the most impressive of its kind in Europe.  Which owes its origins to the Teutonic Order, the Medieval Town of Toru&#324; being the other, founded in 1231</div><br/>
 


<div><br><b>Similar modern view across the river Nogat The castle was founded in 1274 by the Teutonic Order during their government in Prussia and is located on the Southeastern bank of the river Nogat.</b> It was named Marienburg after the Virgin Mary, patron saint of the Order.
The Order had been based in Acre, but when this last stronghold of the Crusades fell, the Order had to move its headquarters to Venice. In 1309, in the wake of both the papal persecution of the Knights Templar as well as the Teutonic takeover of Danzig, the Order under Siegfried von Feuchtwangen moved its headquarters into Prussian part of their monastic state. They chose the Marienburg, conveniently located at the Nogat, in the Vistula Delta, which allows access by ship.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>
