Palėvenė 1918



Fieldpost card sent from Polawen, now Palėvenė, Lithuania. It was probably sent on 1918 from the date written by the sender. The church of Palėvenė depicted on the postcard still stands today. The german name Polawen probably comes from the polish name: Poławeń.

  2. Thank you very much for the correction! and thank you for the wikipedia link! In fact, the postcard is correct and is east of Panevėžys, not far from Kupiškis. Ačiū.
