OFFICIAL POSTCROSSING

This postcard came from the sender's hometown: Breda. Breda is a municipality and a city in the southern part of the Netherlands. As a fortified city, the city was of strategic military and political significance. Although a direct Fiefdom of the Holy Roman Emperor, the city obtained a municipal charter; the acquisition of Breda, through marriage, by the house of Nassau ensured that Breda would be at the center of political and social life in the Low Countries.
