Mir Castle Complex, Medieval castle in Mir, Belarus
Mir Castle Complex is a fortified building made of red brick in Mir, Belarus, surrounded by five towers with white limestone decorations. A central courtyard connects the different parts of the compound, whose walls still show the original arrow slits.
Duke Ilinich ordered the fortress built starting in 1520 to protect his territory and show his power. The Radziwill family took over the complex in 1568 and transformed it into a representative residence with expanded living areas.
The name comes from the small town of Mir, where the complex has formed the center of social life since the 16th century. Today visitors from many countries come here to walk through the rooms with old furniture and tapestries and get a sense of how noble families lived.
The visit takes you through forty restored rooms on three floors, where you see furniture and exhibits from several centuries. The grounds are extensive, so you should plan time for a walk around the courtyard and garden.
Underground passages run beneath the inner courtyard, connecting different parts of the complex. These tunnels served in earlier times as escape routes and storage space and remain partly accessible.
