Mir Castle
One of the superior tourist attractions in Belarus, Mir Castle rests in the Grodno region and dates from the 16th century. Situated in the town of Mir, in the Kareličy District of the Hrodna voblast, 29 kilometres (18 mi) north-west of another World Heritage site, Niasviž Castle, Mir Castle Complex is 164 metres (538 ft) above sea level.
This colossal architectural feat is constructed in the Baroque, Gothic, and Renaissance styles, and is heavily surrounded by fortification walls. Visitors to the castle can enjoy a walk in the stunning flower gardens that are planned in the Italian style, as well as the vast artificial lake on the property.
At some of the best architecture in Belarus, the castle provides a spectacular view, and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and although it was badly damaged by cannon fire in the days of old, it has now been lovingly restored to its former beauty.
