Jieznas 1972




This another illustrated Soviet stationery sent in 1972 from Езнас/Jieznas. A tourist facility of Бирштонас/Birštonas is illustrated on the envelope. Jieznas is a small town with a population of approximately 1500. This town has been mentioned in historical records for the magnificent palace of the Pac family but unfortunately, it has been burnt down by a fire in 19th century. Only a white baroque church remains today from that period.
