Why Go
From the 16th century, Nesvizh was the main seat of the Radziwiłłs, one of the richest families of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The palace, rebuilt over the centuries, has restored state rooms around a courtyard, and the Corpus Christi Church nearby holds the family crypt. It is a World Heritage Site.
