Nesvizh Castle
Нясвіжскі замак
The Radziwiłł family's palace-castle, a World Heritage Site whose splendid halls and lakeside gardens are well preserved.
Nesvizh Castle was the seat of the Radziwiłł family for several centuries. Designed in the 16th century by Italian architects, it was later remodelled into a Baroque and Classicist palace, surrounded by a moat and English-style gardens. It was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2005. After restoration, about 30 ornate halls are open to visitors, including the Golden Hall, the Hunting Hall and the Armoury. Nearby, the Church of Corpus Christi is one of the earliest Baroque churches in Eastern Europe, and it contains the family crypt. Entry costs about 20 Belarusian rubles. The castle lies about 110 km from Minsk and about 30 km from Mir Castle.
