The Teutonic Knights are a German crusading order of knights committed to fighting infidels and pagans. 條頓騎士團是為對抗異教徒而成立的德意志騎士團體。
The knights had always consolidated their conquests through networks of castles and fortified places, and the Livonian Chapter of the Teutonic Order built castles of stone. 條頓騎士團通常以城堡和防御工事組成的防衛網(wǎng)來(lái)鞏固其對一地區的征服，日耳曼條頓騎士團下的立沃尼亞教會(huì )也建造了許多石頭城堡。
