NESVIZH CASTLE BELARUS 13TH JANUARY 2022 TRAVEL - S12:E15 ----------------------------------------- The construction of the stone castle in Niasvizh is connected with the activity of Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł Sierotka (the Orphan). He decided that the princely residence was supposed to look like a powerful fortress, conform to the modern fortification requirements and demonstrate the grandeur of the Radziwiłł family. That’s why instead of rebuilding the old wooden castle the prince began to build a new one on a peninsula made up of two artificial lakes on the river Usha. The work began in 1582–1583 and the biggest part had been over by 1600. There is no consensus on who the author of the project was. It was considered that an Italian architect Yan Maria Bernardoni was in charge of the work, however, contemporary researchers say only about his participation in the construction at some stages. There is a possibility that Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł worked out the project himself, as he was really interested in architecture. The castle became one of the best fortresses in the Great Duchy of Lithuania. On the plan it looked like a quadrilateral surrounded by a high mound with bastions on the corners and a moat with water. The princely palace was constructed opposite the entry gate, with an armoury and «kamenitsa» with a watchtower. In the castle there were also barracks, a prison, foundry, storehouses with food, and a bakery. One could get to the fortress across a wooden bridge which could be easily disassembled when necessary. There were around 30 weapons on the bastions which allowed the defenders to control the nearby territory. It all made the castle impossible to attack. In 1660 the fortress survived the siege of the Moscow army which greatly affected the course of the war. Near Lachovichi Niasvizh drew part of the enemy squads upon itself and staved off the threat that was hanging over Slutsk. Taking into account the role of the castle in those events, the town was exempted from taxes and military quartering by the Sejm of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for 4 years. During the Northern War in 1706 the Swedish army headed by Charles ХІІ approached the castle. The commandant being in charge of just a small squad of professional military men accepted the King’s ultimatum and opened the gate. The Swedish army robbed the castle and ruined its fortifications: the mounds were destroyed, the bastions were blown up, and the buildings were burnt up. Reconstruction work began in the 1720s in the times of Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł Rybońka. The rebuilt palace, and buildings of the armoury and kamenitsa were joined by galleries. At the same time the defensive function became unimportant. Now the princely residence was first of all the centre of the cultural life. There was a Theatre Hall in the palace, the chapel of Our Lady of Loreto, and a printing house for some time. Architects Casimir Zhdanovich, Maurizio Pedetti and others worked in the castle. The King hall was made in 1784 specially for the arrival of King Stanisław August Poniatowski. During World War I and the revolutionary events afterwards the castle wasn’t badly damaged. In the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth it became a centre of public life for a short period. In 1926 it was visited by Marshal Józef Piłsudski. In 1939 after the establishment of Soviet rule the fate of the castle was unclear for a long time. It was planned to open a museum, road transport technical school, or a holiday house here. The collections, library, archives were transferred to different institutions, and their big part was lost. During the German occupation there was a military hospital in the castle. After the liberation in 1944 it was decided to turn the castle into a sanatorium which functioned until 2001. In 1993 the government of the Republic of Belarus adopted a regulation to create the museum and reserve Niasvizh, the palace restoration plan was worked out and approved. On 15 July 2005 Architectural, Residential and Cultural complex of the Radziwiłł family was put on the UNESCO world heritage list as «an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble illustrating a remarkable period of the history of humankind.» After the restoration work had been finished in July 2012 the exposition of the museum and reserve Niasvizh was opened to the public. ----------------------------------------------- WEB SITE - http://www.2BOOMERS.com / RADIO - http://www.lyvradio.com/BOOM TELEGRAM - https://t.me/joinchat/UKmo2AMsMCcdPlMm INSTAGRAM - https://instagram.com/BOOMERSRADIO / https://instagram.com/speedingdragon TWITTER - https://twitter.com/BOOMERSSHOW / YOUTUBE - http://BOOMERSYOUTUBE.com ------------------------------------------------

MIR CASTLE MIR, GRONDO, BELARUS 8TH JANUARY 2022 TRAVEL - S12:E13 DJI AIR 2S ------------------------------------------- Mir Castle Complex of XVI–XX centuries in a small town Mir is a historical and cultural value of national importance and UNESCO World Heritage. For the first time Мir was mentioned in 1434 when it becomes a private estate of Senko Gedygoldovich. According to his will in 1451 Mir passes to Anna Butrimovna, his foster daughter. In 1476 Anna gives Mir as possession for life to Senko’s wife Milokhna, and after her death – to her cousin Yury Ilinich, who started building the castle. The owner of Mir had strong reasons for erecting such a mighty fortification building. At the beginning of the 16th century Crimean Tatars attacked these lands more frequently. Unstable political situation was worsened by the hostility among the feudal groups inside the country. In particular, the Iliniches were in confrontation with a very powerful and influential prince Mikhail Glinsky. Nevertheless there was one more important reason for building the castle. Yury Ilinich aspired to get a title of a count of the Holy Roman Empire and one of the necessary conditions for this was having a stone castle. This was the first case when such a mighty fortress was built on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by a private owner. At the first stage of construction five towers were erected. They were connected with walls whose thickness at the foundation was up to three meters. All the towers were planned as independent centers of resistance. They were erected in such a way that it was convenient to deliver flanking fire along the walls and to hit an approaching target. Each tower was about 25 meters in height and had five fighting storeys with loopholes and a complex system of inner passages. The builders used three-layer laying – the inner and outer parts of the walls were made of brick and huge stones and the space between them was filled with small stones and broken bricks. Although all the towers may seem to have the same construction, each of them has its own architectural peculiarities. The lower tetrahedral part of the towers becomes octahedral at different heights slightly losing in its size. The decoration of the towers’ fronts also varies. During the Great Patriotic War from May to August 1942 the castle served as a ghetto where Hitler’s forces imprisoned around 800 local Jews. In summer the prisoners organized a resistance group. On August 9, 1942 over 250 Jews managed to escape. Three days later those who stayed in ghetto were shot by fascists in the forest not far from Mir. After the liberation of Belarus in July 1944 dwellers of Mir whose houses had been ruined found refuge in the castle. The last family moved out from the castle in 1962. The restoration works in Mir Castle began only in 1983. In 2000 it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. On December 16, 2010 an official opening of Mir Castle took place. read more - https://mirzamak.by/en/istoriya/obshchaya-istoriya --------------------------------------------------------- FOOTAGE - DJI POCKET 2 WEB SITE - http://www.2BOOMERS.com / RADIO - http://www.lyvradio.com/BOOM TELEGRAM - https://t.me/joinchat/UKmo2AMsMCcdPlMm INSTAGRAM - https://instagram.com/BOOMERSRADIO / https://instagram.com/speedingdragon TWITTER - https://twitter.com/BOOMERSSHOW / YOUTUBE - http://BOOMERSYOUTUBE.com -------------------------------------------------------------
