My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

Carolingian Westwork and Civitas Corvey

country. Germany

criteria. Cultural

This WHS is located in North Rhine-Westphalia state, along the banks of the Weser River. Originally erected in 822CE – 885CE, the West work is the only original structure that remains while the original imperial abbey complex is preserved as archaeological remains. The Westwork of Corvey is testament to the architectural form of the Frankish Carolingian Empire.
