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).

This WHS is a Baroque palace, located in the state of Bavaria, is one of the largest and, regarded by many, as one of the most beautiful in Germany. It was created in the 18th century CE under the patronage of Prince-Bishop of Bamberg, Lothar Franz von Schönborn and Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Friedrich Carl von Schönborn. Construction of the main residence was from 1720 – 1744CE, interior decorations from 1740 – 1770CE, and gardens landscaped from 1765 – 1780CE. An international team of architects and artists came together to build and decorate this magnificent edifice.
