Worth seeing

• Nesvizh castle, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005, until 1939 the Radziwiłł family's nest
• Church of Corpus Christi in Niasvizh, one of the first Jesuit and Baroque churches in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, erected in the years 1587–1593 according to a design by Jan Maria Bernardoni, modeled on the Roman church of Il Gesù. In the basement of the parish church the bodies of 102 Radziwiłł are buried, most often in birch coffins sealed with fillings with the Radziwiłł coat of arms. The founder of the church, Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł, also known for his numerous travels around the world, was to learn the secret of embalming a corpse while in Egypt. Therefore, probably after the death of Włodzimierz Lenin, several coffins in Nesvizh were devastated during attempts to discover the secrets of mummification by Soviet scientists [17]. Next to the church, there are reconstructed buildings of the Jesuit college and a chapel from 1747 in front of the church facade
• church presbytery from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, rebuilt in the 18th century with an impressive garden facade
• A brick tower from the mid-16th century, formerly strengthening the gate leading from the castle to the town. Later it was rebuilt into a church belfry.
• Słuck Gate from 1690. After the town fortifications had been dismantled, it was rebuilt in 1760 in the baroque style. Inside, there is an altar and a plaque in Polish from 1760 in honor of the Virgin Mary.

• Benedictine Church st. Euphemia with a baroque-style monastery founded by Prince Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł "Orphan" in 1590-1596, probably according to the design of the Jesuit architect Giovanni Maria Bernardoni. In 1866, the Russian authorities handed over the church to the Orthodox Church, and then the tower was demolished, and the monastery was turned into barracks in 1878. After 1918, the monastery buildings housed a teachers' college. Next to the church there is a baroque tower-gate from 1763.
