cover from the Netherlands

Yesterday I got not only three postcards but also a cover from the Netherlands.

Stamp:
Postcrossing (from set of ten) (issued 29-03-2016)


Inside were four European postcards.
The first card shows the Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic. The Sedlec Ossuary is a small Roman Catholic Chapel. The skeletons have been artistically arranged to form decorations. It is a popular tourist destination. The Sedlec Ossuary is together with the Historical Town Centre of Kutná Hora since 1995 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.


The second card shows the Mont-Saint-Michel in France. The Mont-Saint-Michel is a Benedictine abbey on a small tidal islet. It is considered to be the Wonder of the West and is a popular tourist attraction. Since 1979 is the Mont-Saint-Michel with its Bay on the UNESCO World Heritage List.


The last two cards are from Belgium. They show two churches in the Flemish villages of Woesten and Loo after their destruction during World War I. The church of Woesten was rebuilt in 1922 and 1923. About Loo I unfortunately could not find any information.


Thank You very much Telenn!
