3325 - Culemborg, Gelderland, Netherlands

A great card with great postage stamps on it. I think the card is celebrating a century of Dutch football. Culemborg is a city of about 30 000 people found in the middle of the Netherlands. It received city rights in 1318. City rights are a feature of medieval history of the Low Countries. A liege lord, count, or duke granted a town or village he owned certain town privileges that places without city rights did not have.
