Today I got a nice postcard from Belarus! The postcard shows a view of the Mir Castle Complex, which is located in the town of Mir. Construction began in the early 16th cenutry and it was started by Duke Yuri Ilyinich. It passed ownership among several different families over time and in the Second World War, it was used by the Germans as a Jewish ghetto. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thanks Tanya!
