You probably won't be able to tell by the scan, but this gorgeous postcard is actually very oversized. It was lovely to find it in my mailbox this past week. It is from the city of Nysa in the southwestern part of Poland. The postcard shows St. Jacob and Agnes Church.
"The church was consecrated in 1198, however it reached its present form in 1401-1430. This 71-meter high building is surrounded by 19 chapels located between buttresses. In its gothic interior 22 pillars support the ceiling. Numerous bishops’ tombstones deserve mentioning, with the tombstone of Balthazar von Pronto being the greatest. The church burnt down in 1945 and was rebuilt between the years 1947-58. Colloquially it is referred to as a cathedral."
I love the details shown of the interior and exterior of the church.
Once again there is no stamp on the flip side of the card, only a red meter stamp made by a machine.
