It seems that most of the cards I receive from Belarus , are from postcrossers living in the capital city Minsk. I do not often receive cards from Belarus. Althought it is on the 6th ranking by most sent postcards. I do not remember that it was a top country in 2012. So I guess  the chance to receive a postcard from this country is much higher nowdays. This card has traveled a distance of 1568 kms in 49 days. It is an art card. It shows a painting from the collection of the National Art Museum.

In the last 1,5 months, I received 3 official card from Belarus . All of them are long shaped cards and were send from Minsk. This one has traveled a distance of 1568 kms in 10 days. It is a very special card for me because it shows the Wawel castle in Kraków, Poland. I have been there last year and I really like Kraków. It's nice to receive a card from something you really like.

I receive a lot of long shaped card from Belarus . This one has traveled a distance of 1568 km in 15 days. It shows us a UNESCO site; Mir Castle Complex. It is my third UNESO site from this country.



"The construction of this castle began at the end of the 15th century, in Gothic style. It was subsequently extended and reconstructed, first in the Renaissance and then in the Baroque style. After being abandoned for nearly a century and suffering severe damage during the Napoleonic period, the castle was restored at the end of the 19th century, with the addition of a number of other elements and the landscaping of the surrounding area as a park. Its present form is graphic testimony to its often turbulent history."

I realised that I have never receive any official card from the Belarus while I have to send them very often in the last week to this country. This one is end by Lunushka and show us the Belovezhskaya Pushcha. A UNESCO site which is situated in Poland as well. I have the Polish part already in my collection.



Situated on the watershed of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, this immense forest range, consisting of evergreens and broad-leaved trees, is home to some remarkable animal life, including rare mammals such as the wolf, the lynx and the otter, as well as some 300 European Bison, a species which has been reintroduced into the park.

Slavic Countries RR - Group 58

I received this beautiful card from Smooth from Belarus via the Slavic Countries RR Group 58. It is my first card from Belarus and my first UNESCO site from that country! It shows the main tower of the Nyasvizh castle.




The Architectural, Residential and Cultural Complex of the Radziwill Family at Nesvizh is located in central Belarus. The Radziwill dynasty, who built and kept the ensemble from the 16th century until 1939, gave birth to some of the most important personalities in European history and culture. Due to their efforts, the town of Nesvizh came to exercise great influence in the sciences, arts, crafts and architecture. The complex consists of the residential castle and the mausoleum Church of Corpus Christi with their setting. The castle has ten interconnected buildings, which developed as an architectural whole around a six-sided courtyard. The palaces and church became important prototypes marking the development of architecture throughout Central Europe and Russia.
