GERMANY ~ Derneb­urg Castle Art Mu­seum ~

... Nice view of a medieval castle located in a wonderful landscape... today, the castle and its grounds are a public museum space for the Hall Art Foundation, a private foundation with vari­ous ex­hib­i­tions of con­tem­por­ary art for a wide audi­ence in a unique his­tor­ic­al set­ting... it hosts also exhibitions by international artists... and part of the domain is a sculpture park...  with  "Black Widow" Superheroes stamp and great special postmark! Thanks Dustin!¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The his­tory of the castle, dates back al­most one thou­sand years. It served as a con­vent and then as a mon­as­tery for hun­dreds of years. In the 19th cen­tury it was taken over by the dukes of Mün­ster, who com­mis­sioned the renowned Han­over Ar­chi­tects to con­vert it in­to a coun­try res­id­ence. 

The artist Georg Basel­itz bought the es­tate in 1970 and used it as a home and stu­dio for about 30 years un­til its sale in 2006.
