Germany: Altena Castle

On Tuesday I got three postcards from Germany.

One of them shows Altena Castle in the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Altena Castle was built from the 12th century onwards by the Counts of Berg. In 1914 the World's first youth hostel was opened in the castle. Today it houses the World Youth Hostel Museum and the Museum of the County Mark.
