Architectural monuments of Mir Castle & Nesvizh

(It’s worth seeing both monuments as they are in the same direction and not far from each other).

Mir Castle

Located 100 km south of Minsk, off the Brest highway.

In the town of Mir you will get acquainted with a pearl of the Belarussian architecture - the Mir castle - the first monument of the national culture which have been switched in the List of the world heritage of UNESCO. The gorgeous red brick Mir Castle is currently being restored, but one tower and the courtyard are open to the visitors. With a lake, a quaint village and the Orthodox church nearby, a visit can make a pleasant afternoon. The castle was constructed by magnates Il'inichi in 1540 in the Belarusian Gothic architectural. In 1568 the Radzivill magnates family, the owners of the castle of the time that was very powerful in Belarus, made the castle into a fortress. Each of the 5 formidable brick castle towers in height up to 27 m are connected by thick defensive walls. Each tower is decorated in its own way. Easily disassembled wooden floors were used in the towers so that soldiers could easily throw the burning planks out of the windows in case a fire. The castle was originally surrounded by a moat, an Italian-style garden and a lake. Today only the lake survives. After the renovations and with the help of UNESCO, the castle will eventually house a hotel a restaurant and a full-fledged museum.

The nature reserves of Belarus

What is really remarkable about Belarus is its nature: green thick woods and pure blue lakes and rivers.

The best way to estimate the wood resources of Belarus is to have a look at them from an airplane window — from the height it becomes quite obvious that more than the third of its territory seems to be covered with a green blanket. Here there have been preserved the major forest areas in Europe, a real fortune, which is adequately called here «the green gold». To a great extent Belarus is «the lungs of Europe». However, in addition to their utilitarian value Belarussian woods are also a cultural wealth due to their unique and, in some places, untouched beauty. The best way to enjoy it is to visit forest reserves in Belarus. The most famous National park is «Belovezha Forest Preserve», where the preserve-like regimen was introduced... as early as in the beginning of the XV century! As a result, in this woodland there have been preserved oaks aged 300 to 700 years, 450-year-old ash-trees and 220-year-old pine-trees. Here you can see meadows, woods and rivers in a state that could remain only without man's interference — powerful, crystal, clear and wonderful. And, certainly, you will get unforgettable impressions while meeting a zubr (Belarussian bison) — an animal that became the symbol of Belarus. We also invite you to visit a well-known in Belarus Berezinski Forest Reserve.

From the ancient times Belarus is called «Lakeland» and it's quite justified: there are 11,000 lakes and 20,000 rivers and brooks in the country. Blue, deep blue and almost black mirrors of lakes are hidden in the forest thickets or glimmer joyfully in the meadows... Lakes are the eyes of Belarus, therefore the country is called blue-eyed. The most precious jewel in the nature crown of Belarus is the National park «Braslav lakes». Local places are often compared with Switzerland or Finland, however, they are really absolutely unique. The amazing charm of this land is created due to constant change in its landscape: lakes, hills, woods and again lakes with the total are of 183 sq. km though their exact number has not been counted up to now. The name Naroch is well-known not only to every Belarussian but also far beyond the boundaries of the country — the unique beauty of this place and its soft climate made the Naroch region a most favorite of all the Belarussian holiday resorts. Due to that fact the National park «Narochansky» was set up here in 1999.
