Everything about Nesvizh totally explained
Niasviž (
Cyrillic: Нясьві́ж, ;
Lithuanian,
Nesvyžius;
Polish:
Nieśwież;
Russian: Несвиж,
Nesvizh; ) is a city in
Belarus. It is the administrative center of the Niasviž District (
rajon) of
Minsk Province and location of a
UNESCO World Heritage Site entitled
Architectural, Residential and Cultural Complex of the Radziwill Family at Niasviž .
Niasviž was first documented in
1223. Shortly it fell under the rule of a powerful neighbouring state, later known as
Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the 15th century, while still a minor town, it passed to the
Radziwiłł princely family. Since then and until
1939, the foremost branch of that illustrious family developed Niasviž as its family nest. In
1562, shortly before
Grand Duchy of Lithuania joined the Kingdom of Poland in
personal union to create
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the first book in
Belarusian language was allegedly printed there (no Belorussian language in conventional sense existed at that time).
The
Corpus Christi Church (1587-93) was one of the earliest (if not the earliest)
Jesuit church in the world and the first (after jesuits church in
Lublin)
baroque structure in Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. Its Italianate design exerted immense influence on architecture of
Belarus,
Poland and
Lithuania.
Niasviž Castle complex was inscribed on the
World Heritage List UNESCO.
