Niasvizh

Niasvizh was the seat of the Radziwill family, who were richer than the kings they served, and the palace they built here across four centuries is inscribed as world heritage along with the church that holds their crypt. The complex sits on an island between two ponds with formal parks laid out all around it in four quite distinct styles. Sixty or so Radziwills lie in the vaults below the church, which is the oldest baroque building of its kind outside Italy. The small town around it keeps its old market square and its town hall.
