An interesting mail with one corner block of four and one of oldest world definitive stamp from Denmark, two stamps are old enough and used them on mail after 27 years ! The pretty block illustrated Børgium Kloster is one of famous abbey in Denmark, it originally was a royal farm since 1000. In 1180, Premonstratensian established there as a daughter house of Steinfeld Abbey and it was dissolved in October 30th of 1536, when Denmark became officially Lutheran country. Nowadays, part of the former abbey became museum to show the history of the heritage site and other as the local parish church.
