We were on an excursion from Minsk to the castles of Mira and Nesvizh on 07/22/2023 from travelagency. As for this place, it is quite beautiful and interesting here. I'm one hundred percent sure that if it hadn't been for Elena (a cute girl with glasses, a dark square), who gave us a tour of the interior of the castle, we wouldn't have been so impressed. The whole group was delighted and on the way to the bus we discussed Elena's skill to interest, intrigue, and with such a soul to provide information. Both children, young people, and people of the older generation listened to Elena's story with such pleasure! Thank you very much! We would have listened forever) we took a lot fewer photos in this castle than in Mirsky. It was too hard to break away from Elena.
One thing I didn't like: during the tour, more and more people joined us, who walked by themselves and did not pay for the guide. Thus, the crowd became bigger, it was harder to listen. Of course, this is a claim already against the administration of this place.
The impressions are the most excellent.I did not expect that our castle could be restored so expensively in Belarus, it is very rich, beautiful, and interesting.
An excellent castle, I have long wanted to visit it and get acquainted with the decoration of the rooms where the Radziwills lived :) It is very comfortable inside, not stuffy and not hot, everything is very clean. The only thing that upset the behavior of the employees who calculate the customers in the gift shop, I want them to be a little kinder and more friendly, because from the outside it seems that I "strained" them and distracted them from more important things than my purchases.
A beautiful old castle, and next to it a gorgeous park, ponds, and swans and pink water lilies on the ponds and a very interesting road to the castle!!!!
A very beautiful place, a wonderful park. The castle is gorgeous, although there is little original preserved in the interior. Be sure to take an audio guide at the museum. There are a lot of interesting things to hear. A must-visit!
A very beautiful and interesting place! The castle is simply gorgeous, it is definitely worth a trip to the castle itself. Parks are great for walking (especially adjacent to the castle itself), there is a beach and boat rental across the bridge.
We visited this place twice in a short vacation, so we liked this place! There are also many events held inside the castle on weekends. We got to the jazz festival and were impressed by the combination of architecture and acoustics!
Super! An atmospheric place! The castle is just huge, a lot of rooms for visits, I can't imagine how they used to live in such a huge "house". The restorers have done the impossible, you walk from room to room, and it's like you're transported back in time. There is a hotel and a restaurant, several parks for walking, bridges... In general, there are many places for cool photos. Many unforgettable experiences are provided!
Except for the castle itself, it is possible (and necessary, once you have arrived, you should see everything))) visit the church, the Slutsky Monastery, the town hall, the craftsman's house, the Benedictine monastery.
By the way, if desired, you can celebrate a wedding in the castle, take pictures in a historical costume, take part in a theatrical tour and even complete a quest.
It's a beautiful place. We have been to Minsk 100 times and were going to come here 100 times. We finally got there this year. I liked everything! Everything is great!!! I recommend it to everyone!)))
It's a beautiful place. I liked the castle. I was there for the first time. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the whole park, but the overall impression is very good. The runner children were a little upset, they had orienteering competitions, there were too many of them on the way))) but these are small things.
A wonderful place) In the autumn of 26.10 in the afternoon, there were not very many people. An interesting tour, a wonderful guide ❤I liked everything
A well-maintained, beautiful place where it is pleasant to take a leisurely stroll. It is especially good to walk around the castle moat: from any angle there are picturesque views of the castle. There are food outlets at the entrance, and there is a place to eat.
The exposition has changed pleasantly over the past 10 years. Now you can bypass everything completely inside. The ticket price - 21 br for an adult (650 rubles) justifies itself.
It is better to buy souvenirs inside the castle, and not in the shops in front of the entrance - there are stupid smoke breaks, they wind up a couple of rubles.
Majestic, big. For the first time in Belarus, we toured 3 castles. Upon arrival in Belarus, we decided to definitely visit the castles. We left early in the morning, we drove our car, first visited Mir Castle, it is closer from Minsk. Then we went to Nesvizh Castle. The road is beautiful. The locks are located away from the autobahn. The towns and villages are all well maintained. The roads are pleasing. We are delighted with all the castles. By the way, the entrance to the territory of the castles is free. Only visits inside the castles are paid. You can pay with a MIR card. We had VTB Bank and Raiffeisen Bank. I recommend you to visit.
Spacious, green, affordable and beautiful! We parked in the free parking lot (to the left of the church and the pond with swans) near the food court. An audio guide was taken at the castle. The view was slightly spoiled by construction fences and a crane at the entrance to the castle, but repairs are a sacred matter. It's great that the location of Nesvizh and Mir castles allows you to visit both places during the day. I recommend a mandatory visit.
A magnificent castle! A very detailed and interesting audio guide! A beautiful park! A great place to travel and relax! A well-maintained beach in the park.
the classics of history, the tour is informative and if you visit this place, then go to the Church for the burial of the royal family of Radivils, I advise you to visit.
We went on an excursion to two castles. Nesvizh and the World.
We liked the tour itself, but it didn't seem enough to me. Such huge castles, but there's nothing to see.
The rooms and floors are occupied by souvenirs, restaurants, shops, well, in general, everything is for tourists. The architecture is of course wonderful, I really liked it.
The castle stories are fascinating.
One of the most beautiful palace complexes. You definitely need to visit it and it is best to take a guided tour inside. The family castle of the once powerful Radziwill family. Nikolai Radziwill the Black, who had accumulated extensive land holdings in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by his death in 1565, divided his inheritance into three ordinances. The most significant of them, Nesvizh, passed to the eldest son, Nikolai Radziwill Sirotka, and he became the first Nesvizh resident. Further, the fate of the castle developed in different ways. But no matter what happened, the Radziwill family carefully restored their ancestral home again. Since the family was very rich, there were many valuables, and the decoration of the palace was magnificent.
Many things, alas, were taken out and still have not been returned. But something was returned, something was simply restored. Much has been restored according to the memoirs of Albrecht Radziwill's daughter, Princess Elzbieta Radziwill. Who has lived for more than a hundred years. The memory of the only daughter of the sixteenth ordinate turned out to be so good that when she came to Belarus over the age of 90, she amazed the people who took her to Nesvizh with living stories from that other life here.
After viewing the palace complex or before it, be sure to visit the Church of the Body of God (Farny Church) in Nesvizh, which was built by Nikolai Radziwill Sirotka. It is an old and beautiful temple. The Nesvizh Church of the Body of God is the first church in Eastern Europe built in the Baroque style, back in the late XVI century. It is very similar to an Italian temple. The architect of the temple, Giovanni Maria Bernardoni, was built in 1584-1593. And in the dungeon of the church there is the tomb of the Radziwills (crypt). In order to be able to hold family funerals in sarcophagi, mummifying the bodies, the founder of the tomb, Nikolai Radziwill Sirotka, went to the Pope himself for permission.
We did not take the tour, we examined the palace on our own and nevertheless were very impressed! The castle is beautiful both inside and out. Be sure to take a walk around - it is especially beautiful from different angles! There is a paid toilet at the entrance to the park, and a free one in the castle itself. There is also a souvenir shop inside. I highly recommend visiting. I liked this castle more than the Mundane one. I would even call it the mesiami palace! Beauty!
Autumn is beautiful and spacious. Well-groomed alleys and paths. A place steeped in history, I recommend everyone to visit with a guide to learn all the subtleties and features of the area
We were on a guided tour, I really liked it. The castle has been perfectly restored. Beautiful interiors, an interesting history of the Radziwills. We didn't walk in the park, it was slushy and gray in February. They left it for the summer)
You can take pictures in historical costumes.
There is a large gift shop in the former wine cellar.
It's a beautiful place.
We were in a hurry - not prepared. I couldn't buy the tour on the spot. We took an audio guide, but practically did not use it.
Because the tour started with some group and we joined. It was stupid to walk through the same halls and not listen to what the guide was saying.
We arrived by carsharing, parked in a paid parking lot (small and inconvenient).
Be sure to book a tour of the castle. The palace contains many halls, everything is very interesting.
Also take a walk along the palace grounds to the city beach.
Expensive-rich :) It is necessary to visit. The museumification is done with great taste and expertise. The lost elements are recreated as close as possible to the original ones. Moreover, over the many centuries of the castle's history, everything has changed many times... I recommend it!
On the UNESCO list!!! 130 km from Minsk. The residence of the Radziwill princes since the 16th century. Excellent exposition in museums. It is better to take a guide.
The palace park complex has been beautifully restored. It closes too early. When visiting Mir castle at the same time, there is a chance to miss the Nesvizh palace.
A very beautiful and spectacular castle complex, almost in its original form, I think that anyone visiting it will not remain indifferent. Beautiful park area around, plus a church and a retouch. We liked everything very much
Restored in the 21st century, done carefully, beautifully. But compared to the St. Petersburg palaces, the Polish kings lived modestly. Or maybe Belarusians saved money on interiors during restoration. I didn't see the park-the weather didn't allow it.
The Radziwills residence leaves no one indifferent, you fall in love at first sight at the entrance, at the walls! This is a place of power, you want to return here as to the ancestral home.
A luxurious castle complex, time flies by unnoticed.
After visiting, I would like to re-read the history of our state under Catherine, and in general, you get respect for the Radziwill family.
A huge park area, very beautiful. The castle itself simply delights with its splendor. We were only in the castle, there is something to see. They just didn't have time to get around the park area.
I really liked the museum part of the palace. We took an audio guide and did not regret it. An interesting and detailed story about each exhibit. It turned out to be a great tour. One device was enough for two people. Everything is perfectly audible. You can listen to the information again. All exhibits and interiors can be photographed.
There is a good souvenir shop on the territory of the castle. We bought a Belarusian herbal balm for gifts. Everyone liked it. What seemed unusual was the low prices for souvenirs.
It was not possible to have lunch on the castle grounds, because the restaurant was smoky, it stank terribly of frying fish. That's why they left right away. I take off one star for this. I had to have lunch at a nearby cafe.
I liked the park. Well-groomed, beautiful. Lots of birds. There is a bicycle rental service. You can ride in an old carriage with a horse. It's a great place. I recommend.
Nesvizh Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this alone is enough to go there on an excursion. All the curiosities and legends of the castle can be found on the Internet, but the personal feelings of touching ancient artifacts with your eyes or hand will not be transmitted to Instagram and YouTube. Yes, there are many new models in the castle, because most of the original interior decoration has not been preserved and this is a necessary measure to convey the era and tell about its owners.
An inspection of the inner halls and a sightseeing walk around the castle will take about half a day.
Nesvizh is becoming more and more transformed into a tourist Mecca from season to season. This is especially evident during the May holidays - the streets are crowded with large and fashionable cars with Moscow and St. Petersburg license plates. Russian motorists have long paved the route to the Brest Fortress, along the way visiting Mirsky and Nesvizh castles, which conveniently / nearby lie on both sides of the "Olympic" (M1 highway).
It is better to determine the best time for a measured visit to the Radziwill heritage in the middle of the week.
On the downside, it will take time to find parking/free space closer to the park.
It is a very beautiful park.. he is blessed.. a clean lake, everything is beautiful and well maintained.. we get a thrill from this place with the whole family.. there is a great hotel on site..
An interesting place, but with a twofold feeling - like a new model.. Be sure to take a guide! There is a lake and a park nearby where you can take a walk!
What can I tell you about this place? Words cannot convey everything. You need to go here and immerse yourself in the history that permeates everything around, starting from the park and ending with the castle itself. We recommend using the services of a tour guide, it's not the same with an audio guide.
The palace has been restored. In excellent condition, it conveys the atmosphere of luxury and elegance of the life of the richest Radziwill dynasty. Many of the exhibits are authentic. All this seems especially incredible after the two world wars and the Bolshevik nationalization. But this is the merit of the museum staff and the willingness of the state to spend money searching for exhibits around the world. I recommend taking a guided tour. It is required to visit.
We were with our family in July 2024. We stayed overnight at the palace hotel. My daughter put this palace in the first place among all the places she visited in Belarus.
It's a cool town. Very clean and tidy.
The palace is beautiful. There is a hotel on site. Restaurant. Authentic! I liked it very much. It's a pity we didn't go to the restaurant, because we were full.
I would like to come again, stay in hotels on the castle grounds and go to lunch at a local restaurant.
There are also 2 large souvenir shops in the palace.

It's a beautiful place. There is paid parking, but not much. We didn't take the tour, we took an audio guide. Very good presentation of the material, interesting. It is convenient to use. The interiors of the castle are of extraordinary beauty. In some halls you can sit, reflect, and imagine.
It is definitely recommended to visit! A fabulous view. For large families, a 50% discount on visiting the castle (upon presentation of documents), (even if you are from Russia). If you don't like dark interiors, then you can walk around the castle and in the park. There are many cafes and souvenir shops nearby.
A wonderful place, an interesting tour, a large park. We took bicycles and rode on it for an hour, and then we didn't go around everything. Clean and calm.
A very atmospheric, picturesque place with its own history! Everything is clean and tidy, you can buy souvenirs, natural chocolate, wine, and an excellent assortment at a local shop!
The disappointment is complete. The restorers obviously overdid it. Everywhere you look, there is a complete lack of connection with the past. It is not visible at all that the castle is 500 years old. A pop novelty. If anyone has been to Garibaldi Castle near Tolyatti - so it looks older than Nesvizh Castle. There is a Mir Castle nearby. There, restorers also overdid it in some places, but at least they left fragments of ancient masonry, dilapidated walls, and there the connection of the times is felt. But Nesvizh is a kind of shame and disgrace. A spoonful of honey in a barrel of tar can be an extensive park area next to the castle, which is very pleasant to walk in. I advise you to rent a bike or an electric scooter
The castle is beautiful. You can drive up to the castle from two sides, from the village if you go through the park there is a small parking lot near the gate, for 5 cars. But if you drive through the city, there are beautiful gates on the way and through the church, so there is a large parking lot. There are 40 cars.
And near the car park, two Neoplan buses can become the size.
