On Wednesday I got two nice postcards from Belarus.
One of them shows the Corpus Christi Church at Nesvizh. The Corpus Christi Church is one of the oldest baroque structures outside Italy and was commissioned by Mikołaj Krzysztof "the Orphan" Radziwill. The house of Radziwill is a noble family of Lithuanian origin and their archives are since 2009 a part of the Memory of the World Programme of the UNESCO. The house of Radziwill built a Architectural, Residential and Cultural Complex at Nesvizh which is since 2005 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Corpus Christi Church is a part of this complex.
In the upper right corner of the card is part of the miniature sheet of the actual stamp.
The nice stamp is in the bottom left corner:
Zoos in Belarus-Amur Leopard in the Minsk Zoo (from set of four) (issued 09-07-2013)
The Minsk Zoo was founded in 1984 by nature amateurs such as Fiodor Nevzin. Its collection includes both exotic animals and rare fauna of Belarus.
with the First Day Special Postmark of another stamp
Thank You very much Kate!
