This postcard shows a monument of Stephen III of Moldavia. He was quite successful in several battles against the Ottoman Empire, founded lots of churches and monasteries and is a national hero of the Republic of Moldova. Unfortunately he got shot in the leg, and some years later a horse fell on that leg. This kind of thing could happen to you back in the days.
I assume that the stamp on the right shows a medieval Moldovan soldier, but I don't have any details. The mansion is located in Sofia, a village in the north of Moldova.
