Tour Nesvizh - the capital of uncrowned kings

In the center ofNesvizh the fine example of architecture of the 16th century – a city Town hall – self-government institutions is located. She can tell you all mysteries of the medieval city and citizens: here the court was managed and sentences were pronounced, there was a city archive and treasury, control scales were stored here, and nearby there took place fairs. Heart of the oldest Town hall in Belarus and fights today rhythmically – each 15 minutes from a high tower remind of time hours.

Nicholas Christopher Radziwill the Orphan, who received a good education in Europe, and his wife Elzbeta Euphemia, who was often called the «Queen of Savskaya» for her beauty and intelligence, and in Nesvizh strived to develop education at the European level. On the initiative of Euphemia, in 1596 the first Catholic women's monastery in Belarus was founded in Nesvizh. Girls from noble families studied the word of God, music, embroidery, literacy, etc. here. The tradition of education runs like a red thread through the entire history of the city - and the thread is not broken. Today, the building of the monastery houses the Nesvizh State College named after Yakub Kolas.

«Bow before your temple in your fear» - with these words the majestic and monumental Nesvizh Church of the Body of God greets parishioners. Erected in the XVI century, it became the first church in the Rzeczpospolita baroque style: magnificent frescoes, paintings, marble and gilding. Under the church there is the crypt of the Radziwills - the third tomb in Europe in terms of the number of burials. A truly atmospheric and captivating place.

Nesvizh is one of the oldest and most mysterious cities in Belarus, where the famous Nesvizh Palace is located. In the 16th century the beauty and splendor of its decoration rivaled many royal palaces: parquet flooring made of the most valuable types of wood, unique ceiling decoration, walls covered with gilding. This is a truly mystical place and one of the most mysterious in Belarus, within whose walls the soul of Barbara Radziwill - the Black Lady of Nesvizh - seeks repose.
