Mir and Nesviz Castles
- Begin at your hotel or any other location in Minsk.
- Visit the Mir Castle, built at the beginning of the 16th century and in the first half of the 16th century. It served as the family estate of Counts Ilyinich. By the second half of the century, it became the property of Belarus's largest and most potent magnate family - the Radziwills. Hunting, balls and receptions took place on the territory of the Mir Castle. Like all ancient castles, Mir Castle keeps secrets and mysteries and has ghosts. In addition, a Jewish high school was located on the territory of Mir, and the gipsy king Jan Martinkevich lived in the 18th century.
- Visit the palace in Nesvizh, which is impressive in its scale and architecture. The recently restored palace features 11 museum collections! And what a delightful walk through the parks around the palace itself! Here, you will meet a monument to the mermaid-favourite of Prince Radziwill, nicknamed "Pane Kokhanka", Black Panna - the ghost of the queen of the Commonwealth, the beautiful Barbara Radziwill.
- It is worth devoting time and attention to the city of Nesvizh itself, visiting the ancient baroque temple of the Commonwealth with unique murals of the Gesky family, which is also the ancestral tomb of the Radziwill family. There is also a monument to the educator Symon Budny, a beautiful town hall, a baroque "house on the square", etc.
