Today I got three postcards: one from Germany, one from the USA and one from Hong Kong.
The card from Germany shows the Schwarzenberg Castle. The Schwarzenburg Castle was first mentioned in 1212 and between 1555 and 1558 it was converted into a hunting lodge. The administration of the tin and iron mining in the Western Ore Mountains was once housed in the Schwarzenberg Castle. It seeks as part of the Mining Cultural Landscape Ore Mountains for the inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
I got this card a few weeks ago in a cover.
The Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region is one of the new UNESCO World Heritage Sites of 2019, but the castle is not part of the site.
Stamp:
Lily of the Valley (issued 06-05-2010)
with a special postmark showing also the Schwarzenberg Castle
Thank You very much Kathleen for sending me the card in an envelope!
