  Lednice castle is a majestic, gorgeous mansion, exactly the kind of a place you imagine, while listening to:“...once upon a time there was a magnificent castle...“ 

 The Sloupsky castle lies at the south border of Sloup over the valley of the Dobranovsky stream. The origin, history and the position of this castle is not exactly known till nowadays. The historians suppose it used to stand at the northeast root of the rock where it was protected by surrounding ponds and swamps. Some medieval buildings survived at the top. They probably served as a shelter during wars. The today’s precincts cut into the limestone rock are from 17th and from the beginning of 18th century when hermitage was founded there. Nowadays the 35metres high limestone formation is considered as the rock castle.

This is not a postcard, but it's a letter that I've got from my Czech teacher. It was very kind of her to send me a letter with different stamps from Czech Republic. I'm very happy to have them and I've put it on my wall like a picture. :)

Situated on the banks of the Vltava river, the town was built around a 13th-century castle with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. It is an outstanding example of a small central European medieval town whose architectural heritage has remained intact thanks to its peaceful evolution over more than five centuries.

  The Czech Republic (formerly known as Czechoslovakia) is very young. On January 1, 1993 it decided to end its union with Slovakia after more than three-quarters of a century. Most Czechs dress in modern, Western-style clothing. Traditional folk costumes, featuring lace and embroidery, are still worn on special occasions. The men's costume features a white shirt with wide sleeves gathered at the wrists. Women wear gathered skirts and blouses made of simple materials such as linen and cotton. In the 1800s, many dresses were made from fabrics dyed with indigo. Indigo was brought to Europe by traders from Asia, and the deep blue color became popular among many European culture groups.
