Austria: Fishermen's Church in Rust

On 14th June I got three postcards from Austria.

One of them shows the Fishermen's Church in Rust. Rust is a town on the western shore of Lake Neusiedl and the Fishermen's Church is the building with the highest historic value in the town's old city. This fortified church dates back to the 12th century. Nowadays it is however not used as church anymore, but as venue for exhibitions and events. As part of the Fertö/Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape is the church since 2001 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. 

Both postmark and stamp (issued 04-06-2021) also show the Fishermen's Church, but from a different point of view.


Thank You very much Anita!
