Austria: Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna

On 2nd October I got four postcards: two from Austria and two from Germany. 

One of the cards from Austria shows the Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna. The Austrian Parliament Building is home to the two houses of the Austrian Parliament, the National Council and the Federal Council. It was built between 1874 and 1883 in a Greek Revival style making it one of the first Neoclassicsl buildings of the Ringstraße. A famous feature of the building is the Pallas Athena fountain.

A magnificient matching souvenir sheet was used on the card (issued 30-09-2020). It celebrates the Centenary of Hans Kelsen's Austrian Constitution. 


 Thank You very much Anita!
