The Postal Museum is located in the exceptional setting of the Cistercian monastery in Vyšší Brod, one of the most significant historical landmarks in South Bohemia. The monastery complex itself offers visitors a peaceful atmosphere, beautiful architecture, and an opportunity to explore the rich history of this remarkable site.
