A very nice place with history and architecture.

A great place to walk. It's an hour's drive from Minsk. There is parking in front of the park and on the territory, very close to the castle. The castle is of course very beautiful, everything is clean, smooth, green lawn, ducks in the pond. Entrance to the castle square is free, and inside the building itself is paid. There are a couple of cafes where you can have a budget snack, there is a hotel, a restaurant and a souvenir shop. In the area around the building itself, you can ride rented bicycles, a rental house is also near the castle. You should definitely stop by Mir Castle, if you are driving, it is nearby and everyone is interested in walking around the towers (for a fee)!

There is a lot to see in Nesvizh. The town is very quiet, it's nice to walk in it. The church is magnificent, you definitely need to go down to the tomb. But all this is doubly impressive when you know the history of the place and people, so an excursion, an audio guide, etc. are simply necessary. A very beautiful park with a pond. Well, the castle-palace itself has been carefully restored, deserves attention both outside and inside. Respect to the museum staff, painstakingly collecting artifacts.
The world and Nesvizh in one day are hard, there are too many impressions, and in the end you miss a lot of interesting things. It is better to come by car and devote one day to each castle.

A beautiful palace complex of the late Middle Ages. If there is no excursion, I recommend an audio guide - it is quite inexpensive and interesting to listen to even for school-age children. The place is very atmospheric and will be interesting to many. It is comfortable to walk around the exposition, you will not have to climb and descend the steep stairs of the castle walls (as in Mirsky), so the tour is quite suitable for elderly people too. In addition, I recommend visiting the city center, going to the local Catholic church, looking at the town hall and tasting local cuisine in the tavern (we choose by rating). It will be very picturesque on the way - I guarantee it! :)

Huge, maximally filled inside. The audio guide is very convenient and interesting. The territory is beautiful, clean, well-groomed, if desired, you can just take a walk, or you can swim on the local beach. I was upset only by the staff (( they are straight rude, there were no open conflicts, but the feeling that 'we came and prevented them from doing their own business' is very bright, the most interesting thing was that we drove a week in Belarus to different cities and attractions, such an attitude was met from the locals only in this palace (sad(

Close to Minsk. Beautiful views. An interesting, albeit small museum in the castle building. A good gift shop. But I would like to warn you about the cafe, which is right at the entrance to the castle - Barbara. The low rating of 1.9 speaks for itself. But all the same, the cafe safely welcomes guests of the castle. (If the stars are lit....) In addition to the low quality of the dishes, the same service, high prices, they can still cheat here. On August 12, we were shortchanged by 8 rubles (the bill for three, waiter Anastasia). The money is not great.But we leave Belarus with a sense of bitterness - TOURISTS ARE BEING DECEIVED! We can say that the cafe has nothing to do with the castle. But...Who visits it? Who does it work for? To the administration of the castle, please: put things in order with your partners.(THE IMAGE OF BELARUS AS AN INCREASINGLY POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION). And for tourists, be careful in the cafe! Like everywhere else (unfortunately), they also want to cash in on us here

I was impressed. A place for the soul, for lovers of history and hiking. I really liked the castle (it's better to look at it with an excursion), right in the castle you can eat in a restaurant in the interiors of the Middle Ages, have a cup of coffee, walk around the castle park. Be sure to visit the church with the tomb of the Radziwill family, go to the Town Hall, just wander around the city. I want to come back here again!

I got a lot of pleasure from visiting! Stunning views, beautiful architectural ensemble, everything has been restored. Inside, in addition to the museum exposition, there is an excellent restaurant "Hetman", there is also a hotel. There are picturesque parks and ponds around. Delicious ice cream is sold in several places. I recommend it to everyone, and half an hour away in the village of Mir there is another castle, no less interesting, but older, more medieval in appearance

The castle is more than just "great". This object should be a mandatory point to visit.
The castle is well maintained both from the outside and from the inside. A huge exposition. The guide told an entertaining and knowledgeable story. We learned a lot not only about the castle, but also about the history of the region, peoples, customs, customs, way of life, weapons, wars... Additionally, for many exhibits there is a note in the audio guide with extended information.
The castle is built quite spacious. It is quite comfortable to move around it, even with a child (mine was 4 years old).
The castle is surrounded by a very large park. The area is very picturesque. This is a good place for photo shoots.
There is an infrastructure where you can eat, ride bicycle rickshaws, buy souvenirs, paintings, and the like.
I think you can safely hang out here for the whole day.

It's a great place. The castle itself is well preserved and well maintained. There are many historical exhibits, paintings, and photographs. They even say there is a ghost. There is a free toilet and two tourist shops in the castle itself. Nearby there is a beautiful Catholic cathedral, built by the former owners of the Radziwills castle and a park founded by them. In my opinion, the park requires some restoration so that it is as magnificent as the castle.

We spent the whole day and night in Nesvizh. Our visit began with a tour of the castle, which was very eventful and informative. An interesting story of the guide in the beautiful interiors of the Radziwill castle. Then we checked into the Palace Hotel, which is located on the territory of the complex, which is also very cool, because there is an opportunity to wander around the courtyard almost alone, when all the tour groups have already left. We had dinner and breakfast at the Hetman restaurant, which is also located on the territory of the castle. And in the morning we also took a walk through the park that surrounds the castle. The place is very beautiful, with its own history and atmosphere. I'm glad I've been here.

It's a very beautiful castle. Surrounded by water, a picturesque place for photos. We had a tour of the castle, the guide is good. There are many rooms in the castle itself, the furnishings are rich and correspond to their era. The history of the castle and its inhabitants was amazing. If you are in the castle, do not skimp on the guide, you will learn a lot of interesting facts. In general, the beauty is both from the outside and inside the castle.

It's a very beautiful place. A must-visit. Set the time for at least 30 minutes, if you just take a walk. The park is also interesting, the beautiful riverbank.
There is a ticket office in front of the entrance to the castle, it is for internal museums. Entrance to the castle grounds is free of charge. Get ready for her photoshoot.
Outside is the grave of the soldiers and the eternal flame, read there. Interesting.
Look at the map of the place across the bay. 10 minutes on the bridge. Nicely.
Parking is only outside the park. There's no point inside.
On the way to the World, you can still stop at Novogrudok, but there are ruins there, look at the photos first on the Internet. Then make a decision.

It's a very interesting place. A beautiful castle, there are three ponds around the castle. There is a great beach in one of them, you can swim. The entrance to the castle exposition is 17 Br. An interesting story of the Radziwills. There are several parking lots nearby. There is a souvenir market and a cafe. There is an atmospheric hotel on the territory of the castle. You can also rent bicycles and ride around the territory of the castle park - it is several hectares. It's worth it.

Go , see, listen, definitely , YES!
The area around is picturesque. You can walk through the park, there are many interesting monuments there. Take a ride on a steam train or a carriage ride. Put on beautiful dresses and feel like a lady of those times....
Buy unique souvenirs. There is even an area for children with air slides and all sorts of entertainment for them. There is a beach where you can sunbathe and swim.
Well, as you understand, I liked the park more than the castle museum......

A stunning castle, beautiful, carefully restored. Polite, attentive staff. Guides who are passionate about their work. A magnificent park with ponds. We were on a sunny, golden autumn day at the end of October. And in summer you can swim, there is an equipped beach. And the city of Nesvizh is pleasant and cozy. Come, you won't regret it!

A real LIVING castle with amazing energy and ghosts!
There's a crypt on the ground floor!
On the territory of the castle there is a shop with many souvenirs and a restaurant "Hetman". The service in the restaurant is not very good, but the dishes are unusual and delicious!
I recommend tincture of Krambambul with birch juice, pancakes with machanka in a pot, sausage with a finger, meat, onions and mushrooms
You can get to the castle from Minsk by car, but it is quite comfortable and by minibus, only take tickets in advance

If it seems to you that everything in Belarus is too beautiful, and people are friendly and welcoming, then an excursion to Nesvizh Castle will be a wonderful spoon for you! It is here that the first and last polite and attentive person will be a security officer (thanks to him alone!) at the entrance and exit. The caretakers are arrogant (no other way, they are all, in fact, from the Radziwill family, and you broke into their house uninvited). The exposition, to put it mildly, is modest, the number of rooms available for inspection is small (even with detailed inspections, you are unlikely to spend more than an hour and a half). Some "views" are offered to admire from a distance of ten meters or from a photo. Even where it is possible to go, some kind of work is either being carried out or being prepared everywhere (either repair, restoration, or just people with tools demonstrating vigorous activity). In any case, in whatever part of the "museum" at whatever point in time you find yourself, the staff will look at you as an annoying hindrance in his necessary (it is unclear then for whom) labors.
With this approach, we would do a virtual tour of the "castle" once in our work with visitors. There would be some advantages: visitors should not waste time on a trip, the museum should save on salaries and the safety of priceless exhibits, the staff should not work in an unloved field.
There is something to thank Nesvizh for – thanks to him, Mirsky visited (the latter is hospitable, beautiful outside and inside, interesting in general views and details).
In summary, there are many people and places in Belarus that it is certainly better to spend your time getting to know than the Nesvizh Palace and Park Complex.

We were with my husband, decided to take a look and were very satisfied. The atmosphere is incredible, the place is very beautiful. It is possible to buy tickets by category. Admission is free for disabled people of all groups, and an entrance ticket is cheaper for large families. I recommend visiting this facility not only to guests of the republic. You can spend a lot of time there, and there is a beach, and a train for children, and caravans with horses., a boat rides on the lake. It's just super

A pleasant place. Large, well-maintained territory. You can walk or rent bicycles. The castle itself is a reconstruction, but well restored from the photo. It is better to visit with an excursion, we did not take it, but still the impression is good. For a fee, we visited an exhibition of costumes, which shows how fashion has changed. Costumes and dresses are made up . I liked it very much. There is a good restaurant on site, with a beautiful interior.

Nesvizh Castle, located in Belarus, is one of the most beautiful and historically significant castles in the country. It was built in the XVI century and is one of the largest and most elegant castles in Europe.
The landmark is striking for its beauty and architectural significance. I was amazed by its size and exquisite decorative finish. The castle is built in the Renaissance style, which distinguishes it from many other castles in the country.
Inside the castle, you can see many amazing rooms, such as a majestic hall with frescoes, luxurious apartments and many paintings and sculptures. The castle also has a large collection of weapons and armor, which makes it interesting and useful for curious visitors.
In general, Nesvizh Castle is an excellent example of the architecture and history of Belarus, and I recommend it to anyone interested in beauty and cultural heritage.

After Mir Castle, the Nesvizh Palace Complex is something amazing. The difference is incredible.
A must-visit!
The feeling that I caught myself being inside - as if someone lives there now, and I'm not talking about Barbara Radziwill) The furniture and decor are very cool, made thoughtfully with love. I plunged into this place with my head. The interiors are amazing, the territory is large, a picturesque moat around and a beautiful bridge.
Next to the castle, you can rent medieval dresses (modern, but they look gorgeous!) and take a bunch of beautiful photos against the background of the castle, ride a carriage with neat and stylized coachmen.
Every hall is a delight, more than once during the whole time it took my breath away and literally opened my mouth.
Nesvizh is also worth a walk. A beautiful, small, cozy city with clean streets.

A curious exposition in the palace and a pleasant walk in the shady alleys of the park. It's great that you can have a snack nearby (there is a cafe with a great view of the castle) and recuperate before going to explore other attractions of Nesvizh.

We were a family 6 times. Every time we had fresh impressions. The park has a separate page for description. We also stayed at the castle hotel a couple of times. Rooms for every taste. 10 years ago there were three of us - a standard room - just enough. The other day, on the anniversary of 15 years of marriage, we checked into a VIP room. We accommodated the whole family (there are already six of us)), there was enough space for everyone. And the number corresponded to the declared status. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant (on the floor below the rooms) also at a decent level.
Thanks to the staff for their hard work. We always like everything here!

One of the Radzevil castles. Locally, almost "across the street" from the Mir Castle. But it is better to spend the whole day visiting it. There are many places for fans of filming. For those who want to learn something new life hack. Join the formed tour. It will take about an hour with a tour of almost the entire palace, a visit to the inter-wall passage and the operating chapel. Then, if you wish, you can once again go around the halls you like, see the corridor of the "black queen".
500 meters from the castle there is a church with the tomb of the Radzevils family. The caretaker of the church, for a small donation to the temple, will take you to the crypt and tell you almost more about the guide in the castle and the family, its individual members and the church itself.
For those traveling by car, there is an inexpensive parking lot on the territory of the castle for the whole day at one price.

It is very beautiful inside and out, I do not regret a bit that I visited the castle. A huge territory, a lot of cafes, you can rent antique clothes and it's cool! If you decide to rent a bicycle to ride around the castle, then get ready for a physically exhausting walk. Separately, I would like to note the paid parking, it is small and inconvenient.

2. Park complex: The park around the castle surprises with its variety of vegetation, landscape solutions and well-groomed. A walk through the park immerses you in the world of natural beauty and tranquility, allowing you to relax your soul and enjoy the surrounding nature.
3. Historical heritage: The Nesvizh Palace and Park Complex is a living testimony to the rich history of Belarus. Visiting this place not only immerses you in the past, but also helps you understand and respect the cultural heritage of the country.

It's a great place. It's true that this is the first time I've been to the castle and I have nothing to compare it with, but I really liked everything. Perhaps it is because of the novelty of the impressions. Of course, I have been to different museums with similar exhibits presented in the castle, but apparently I was not very interested in this historical layer before, and therefore I stared more than peered. Preliminary study of the subject of research and immersion in the context of an upcoming visit to the facility always adds colors. Therefore, before going and looking, you need to at least read and be interested in the subject of inspection. And the castle is magnificent. Thanks a lot to everyone who worked on this project.

Nesvizh Castle. Belarus.
🍂🏰🍁🏰🍂
A palace and castle complex located in the northeastern part of the city of Nesvizh in the Minsk region. An architectural monument of the XVI—XVIII centuries. It was founded by Prince Nikolai Christopher Radziwill Sirotka in 1582, and the main works were completed by 1600. During the XVI — XX centuries it was the residence of the princes Radziwills.
He got his nickname — "Orphan" — not because he lost his parents early, but because they once lost him in some corridor during a high-society ball. The boy began to cry, and the king himself passed by, stroked his head and said, "Why are you crying, orphan?" Since then, this nickname has stuck to him.
Nesvizh Castle is the ancestor of a new type of bastion fortifications in Belarus — the so-called New Italian system. At the time of construction, the castle was considered one of the strongest and most perfect buildings of this type. There was no shortage of artillery, handguns and military ammunition in the castle. The castle was of great military importance for several centuries, and was the place of concentration of the private army of the Radziwills.
Externally, the palace has always looked very romantic: a monumental building with harmonious towers of different sizes, raised above the water, drowns in the greenery of trees.
After several reconstructions, the medieval feudal castle turned into a palace and park ensemble with a large open courtyard surrounded by monumental buildings. Many architectural styles are intertwined in it, which indicates the use of artistic achievements from different historical eras. Decorated with slender towers and turrets, the complex acquired a romantic appeal, and the water in the ponds and the bright greenery of the landscaped castle completed the formation of the palace and castle complex, one of the best in Eastern Europe.
The architectural ensemble of the Nesvizh Castle is currently a historical and cultural museum-reserve.

Everything is very interesting here and you need to see it with your own eyes. Radziwills, of course, cannot be compared with the Romanovs, but it is still impressive. Under the USSR, there was a sanatorium here. Why should a sanatorium be made from an ancient beautiful castle of a noble famous family, the founders of many local cities??? Accordingly, the exposition is sparse, the directorate has to buy back the exhibits at auctions. I wasn't smart enough to save it. It is very clear how the museum staff is trying to restore and assemble something. A beautiful ensemble with an impressive moat with water all around.
