Last Wednesday I got two postcards: one from Austria and one from Germany.
The card from Austria shows Schloss Stainz. Schloss Stainz, originally a monastery, dates back to 1229. In 1840 Archduke Johann, son of Emperor Leopold II and an avid hunter, purchased the building complex for use as a hunting lodge. Today it houses two branches of the Universalmuseum Joanneum, since 2006 the Styrian Hunting Museum and since 2009 also the Museum of Agriculture and Forestry.
With a nice matching stamp:
125 years Stainz Railway (issued 28-05-2017)
with a Leap Day postmark
Thank You very much Anita!
