The city of Nesvizh and its castle?

is a small Belarusian town with a very rich history. Former possession of the princely family of the Radziwills - Nesvizh Castle, or more precisely, the palace and park ensemble, serves as the calling card of the city. Its walls are separated from the vast park by a defensive moat filled with water. There is a rich museum exhibition inside the castle. A medieval fortification that has become iconic landmark of Belarus and included in the UNESCO international heritage list, today attracts guests from near and far countries. Many excursions around Belarus include in the program visit to Nesvizh. And the image of the castle adorned one of the large Belarusian banknotes after the denomination.

Living history

The past is connected with the history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Russian Empire, Poland and the USSR and modern independent Belarus. Repeatedly changing hands and being conquered, the city absorbed the features of different cultures and faiths.
Today it is difficult to imagine the appearance without a park with arched bridges and sculptures, a castle tower, churches, Orthodox churches, the Slutsk Gate and other numerous monuments of the past. The park alone, or rather the park complex, can captivate tourists for several hours. Various types of gardening art have coexisted here for centuries. Several generations of gardeners created the English, Japanese, Old Park, Antonia Park and Marysin Park.

Mystical mysteries of the past

As befits any noble princely family, the Radziwills bore the mark of a family curse. An aura of mysticism surrounds many events that took place in. One of the most tragic stories is connected with the unhappy love of Barbara Radziwill and Prince Sigismund. The marriage did not suit the Polish nobility, and on the instructions of Sigismund's mother, Barbara was poisoned. The young king was in despair and turned to spiritualism to meet his beloved. One day the girl appeared before him, but as soon as he rushed to her, the ghost disappeared with a terrible roar. Since then, the black lady of Nesvizh appears every now and then in the castle and dark corners of the park. Another story is connected with a mermaid, whose statue can be found near a well in the park. Prince Karol from the Radziwill family, known as an eccentric and adventurer, once almost died at sea during a shipwreck. According to contemporaries, a representative of a noble family said that he was saved by a mermaid with whom he had an affair. The fruit of love was a school of herring. And therefore, at dinner parties, Karol carefully examined the fish so as not to eat his child.
