Nesvizh Palace

Несвижский дворцово-парковый ансамбль
You can't just casually say it’s posh. It's luxurious, elegant, refined, tasteful. Not a castle - a palace! A real residence of the kings. But there have never been kings in Belarus.

It refers to a famous magnate family. Now they would definitely be in the top “The richest people in the world” by Forbes. But for Belarusians the Radziwills are simply "kings without a crown". Fabulously rich, influential on the world stage, perfectly educated and culturally enlightened.


Nesvizh is their much-loved ancestral home. It seems like it is not in Belarus at all! Perhaps somewhere in the Czech Republic, or in Austria, or in Northern Italy.... By the way, it was the Italian holiday that inspired Nikolai Radziwill Sirotka to give a new life to the formerly wooden castle and turn it into a palace and park ensemble.

Splendid interiors of the palace evoke a slight regret that you were born in the wrong century. Alternatively, elegantly dressed in the morning you could have gone downstairs to have a walk in the English park. In the afternoon you would have taken a boat trip around the castle moats. And in the evening - dances at a ball in the Golden or White Hall.

If you're happy with the comforts of the 21st century and your fitness watch keeps track of how many steps you've taken today, be sure that in Nesvizh you will break all the records. The complex has five parks: Old Park, Castle Park, English Park, Japanese Park, and Marysin Park! There are plenty of places to get lost.

The soul of Nesvizh Castle is the Radziwill family. Wealthy and influential, they are, after all, ordinary people. With their whims. And different destinies. Some are jokers and risk-lovers, like Pane Kohanka. And someone's life, despite the origin, has little in common with a fairy tale. Like Barbara Radziwill, whose unhappy ghost still walks around the castle in the shape of the creepy "Black Lady”.
