Nesvizh Castle, Belarus

Nesvizh Castle or Niasvizh Castle is a residential castle of the Radziwill family in Nesvizh in Belarus.

The estate was owned by the Radziwill magnate family from 1533, when it was awarded to Mikoaj Radziwill and his brother Jan Radziwill after the extinction of the Kiszka family. Since the Radziwills were one of the most important and wealthy clans of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it was there that the Lithuanian Archive was moved in 1551.
