Palace

About the hotel

Palace Hotel lives inside the Nesvizh palace and park estate — where the Radziwiłł family resided for more than three centuries. Outside the windows: water moats, parks and the museum twenty steps away.

The Radziwiłł Palace

Prince Nicholas Christopher Radziwiłł the Orphan founded the castle in 1582. The Italian architect Giovanni Bernardoni led the works: by 1600 a residence with bastions, towers and an entrance arch already stood on an island between moats — one of the strongest fortresses of its time.

The entrance arch and towers — where the acquaintance begins.

The castle survived wars, fires and restoration. In 2005, together with the Farny Church, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Today it is a museum-reserve visited from all over Europe.

“The castle was built as a home, but became a fortress. You can still picture a carriage at the gate and lights in the first-floor windows.”

A hotel in the castle

The hotel occupies a wing of the estate. Four room categories, from a compact Standard to a 100-square-metre Grand Lux with panoramic lake views. Within the historic walls: modern bathrooms, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi and the silence of the reserve.

In the morning the ground-floor café serves breakfast: cheese pancakes, porridge, homemade pastries and coffee. During the day you can walk in the park; in the evening return for dinner in the restaurant. Reception is open 24/7; guests have free parking on the estate.
