Mir Castle

Mir Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Belarus, is a striking 16th-century fortress renowned for its architectural grandeur and historical significance. Combining Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, its robust red-brick walls, towers, and courtyards reflect the power of the noble families who built it. Once a defensive stronghold and aristocratic residence, it stands amid serene landscapes as a symbol of resilience. This well-preserved castle offers a vivid glimpse into Belarus’ medieval past and cultural heritage.
