Russia: Ferapontov Monastery

I just returned from my city trip to Vienna and during my trip arrived many postcards. One of the cards is from Russia.

It shows the Ferapontov Monastery in northern Russia. The Ferapontov Monastery is a famous example of a Russian Orthodox monastic complex. Since 2000 is the Ensemble of the Ferapontov Monastery an UNESCO World Heritage Site.


Stamps:
Flora and Fauna (from set of fifteen) (issued 29-08-2008)
1150th anniversary of Russian statehood (issued 19-09-2012)
History of the Russian Cossacks (from set of three) (issued 29-08-2011)


Thank You very much Natasha!
