postury

A postury is the building or facility in which the post is collected and sorted. Often includes a pigeonhouse inside or nearby.¹When the pigeonhouse is not connected to the postury, it usually means that the postury is located in a remote town, and the employees feed and care for the pigeons in their own homes.

Also styled ‘postery’ and ‘postry’ in some translations.²This is more of a regionalism originating around the disagreement over the original spelling, which can be translated as ‘postury’ or ‘postery’ but is commonly misspelled as ‘postry,’ enough that it has come into common use.
