Germany: Electoral Hunting Lodge at Linn Castle

Last Friday I got two postcards from Germany.

One of them shows the Electoral Hunting Lodge at Linn Castle. The Electoral Hunting Lodge was built in the style of the Baroque in the 18th century for Clemens August of Bavaria, Archbishop-Elector of Cologne who also built the Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces in Brühl. Since 1930 it is used as museum. It shows today historic bourgeois rooms of the 18th and 19th century and mechanical musical instruments. Together with Linn Castle and the Archaeological Museum in Krefeld it forms a museum complex. 


Also on this card a Winter Aconite (issued 08-06-2017) and a Zinnia (issued 02-04-2020) were used as postage.


Thank You very much Marcel!
