Niasviž: Hotels and accommodations
Niasviž combines a palace ensemble, historic city gates and a town hall with parks, bodies of water and themed tours.
Culture
The UNESCO World Heritage complex of the Radziwill family in Niasviž comprises a residential palace and the Church of Corpus Christi, which serves as a mausoleum. The palace consists of ten interconnected buildings arranged as an architectural whole around a hexagonal courtyard. The palaces and the church became important models for the development of architecture in Central Europe and Russia. Construction of Niasviž Palace began in 1583.
Niasviž Town Hall is the oldest of the surviving buildings of municipal self-government in Belarus. An exhibition on the history of municipal self-government is located on the second floor.
The Slutsk Gate in Niasviž is a unique Baroque architectural monument. It is the only surviving one of the five former city gates in Niasviž; the gates were built as part of the city’s fortification system between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. The Church of Corpus Christi was the first Baroque-style building in the territory of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Visits are possible outside service times.
The southwestern bastion is part of the defensive system of Niasviž Palace and was built at the end of the 16th century according to the principles of the New Italian fortification system.
Nature
The palace-and-park ensemble of Niasviž is located in the northeast of the city and is surrounded by ponds of the Usha River. Niasviž New Park, also called Marysin Park, covers 22 hectares.
