unsent, 1978
Courtyard of Vaduz Castle.

Although the castle is not open to tourists, glimpses inside are provided by a few postcards. This stamp is part of the "Residence Set" issued in 1978 to commemorate the 40th  anniversary of the Reign of Prince Franz Josef II.

I can’t avoid calling this pretty, it seems to sum it up; an almost enchanting scene, in the true fairytale sense.

Oh Oh! I have been to Liechtenstein, just to buy stamps! I wish they did have tours of the castle!
Thank you for joining in this week.

I really like the color combination and the way the stamp is framed.

Beautiful! I'm trying not to become too enchanted by maxi cards for fear of opening up a whole new area to collect. This card is hard to resist.

I like the pastel shades. It looks like a little town inside, which I suppose its what it was when originally.
