Germany: Richmond Castle

On Tuesday I got two postcards: one from Germany and my first card from Saudi Arabia.

The card from Germany shows Richmond Castle in Braunschweig. Richmond Castle was built between 1768 and 1769 for Augusta, a British princess and wife of Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, who became Duke of Brunswick in 1780. It was designed by Carl Christoph Wilhelm Fleischer in the Baroque style and also has a park in the style of a classic English landscape garden.
