Christmas mail and special stamps

Walk through the inner courtyard (Prunkhof) and you will be surprised to discover a Christmas Post Office from the village of Christkindl in Austria. Up until mid-December, all Christmas mail posted here will be franked with the word “Christkindl” and sent anywhere in the world in time to arrive for Christmas. For those seeking a rare treat, simply ask for the Sonderbriefkasten or the letterbox which offers the special franking “Muenchner Christkindlmarkt”. Philatelists will love this one.

Christmas Post Office: Nov. 26 – Dec. 4, 2011
daily 12:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
