Monthly Fav. Surprise RR - November '18

The November's 18 cards of the Monthly Fav. Surprise RR came from Malaysia, Germany and the Netherlands. 

The Putra Mosque is the principal mosque of Putrajaya. Construction of the mosque began in 1997 and was completed two years later. It is located next to the (...) man-made Putrajaya Lake. 
The pink-domed Putra Mosque is constructed with rose-tinted granite and consists of three main functional areas – the prayer hall, the Sahn, or courtyard, and various learning facilities and function rooms. The mosque can accommodate 15,000 worshippers at any one time. - in: wikipedia

Sibylle sent me this beautiful maxicard of lthe little Maria Rast Chapel in Krün. This chapel stands in the middle of the enchanting Buckelwiesen alpine meadows located on an alpine plateau between Mittenwald and Krün, one of the most serene places in Bavaria. - in: https://www.zugspitz-region.com/the-alpenwelt-karwendel/cross-station-maria-rast-chapel.html

One more card from Bavaria. It was sent by Marei. 
The St. Peter Church in Steinkirchen am Samerberg Is considered the most beautiful church in the district of Rosenheim. 

I've been to the Netherlands last April and on this 2nd visit to the country I decided to stay in Utrecht. A visit to De Haar Castle was a possibility as it is located not far from the city. However, when I found out that Muiderslot Castle was part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam, an UNESCO site, I decided to visit it instead of De Haar. 
De Haar Castle is the biggest and most luxurious castle in The Netherlands. 
The current buildings, all built upon the original castle, date from 1892 and are the work of Dutch architect P.J.H. Cuypers, in a Neo-Gothic restoration project funded by the Rothschild family. - in: wikipedia
