Town hall in Niasviž, Renaissance town hall in Niasviž, Belarus

The town hall of Niasviž is a two-storey rectangular stone building with a tall six-tier tower over its northern end entrance: four lower square tiers and two upper octagonal ones, topped by a faceted cupola. Its walls, almost without decoration, are pierced by small rectangular windows under a thin moulded cornice, and the main facade ends in triangular gables. One-storey arcaded trading rows wrap the building on three sides around an inner courtyard.

Niasviž received Magdeburg rights in 1586, and the town hall on the Market Square was completed around 1596, flanked by two rows of trading stalls. It burned during the Northern War and was rebuilt in Baroque style in 1752, when shops were added at the rear. A major fire in 1836 destroyed about 100 houses in the centre and damaged the hall; the tower's upper tier was never rebuilt. In the 1990s the hall was restored to its late 16th-century appearance using a design plan of that period and a 1604 engraving by Tomasz Makowski.

Magdeburg rights, granted in 1586, made the town hall the seat of the magistrate and its court on the ground floor, with a large vaulted hall above for solemn civil acts and theatrical performances. Shops filled the arcaded trading rows on three sides, so commerce and administration shared one complex.

The complex stands at Savetskaya Street 1a, 1b, 3 and Belaruskaya Street 2, in the central part of Niasviž. Two arched passages on the main end facade lead into the rectangular inner courtyard enclosed by the trading rows on three sides. The tower lost its upper tier after the 1836 fire, so its present height follows the late 16th-century plan and the 1604 engraving by Tomaš Makoŭski.

The tower lost its upper tier after the 1836 fire that destroyed about 100 houses in the town centre, and it was never rebuilt. The present look of the complex comes from the 1990s restoration, carried out after a late-16th-century design plan and a 1604 engraving by Tomasz Makowski.
