Site	Type	Criterion	Description	Drawing
Struve Geodesic Arc ​52.16125.5711 Leskovitchi ​52.21525.5532 Chekutsk ​52.28925.6493 Osovnitsa ​53.5624.874 Lopaty ​54.29126.0455 Toupichki	Cultural	(ii), (iii), (vi)	The Struve Arc is a network of triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea and crossing 10 countries in more than 2 820 km. The arc is formed by the points of a triangulation made between 1816 and 1855 by astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and representing the first exact measurement of a long segment of the meridian. This triangulation has helped define and measure the exact size and shape of the Earth; it has played a vital role in the development of earth sciences and the establishment of accurate topographic maps. It is a great example of scientific collaboration between researchers from different countries and cooperation between monarchs for a scientific cause. Originally, the arc consisted of 258 main triangles and 265 main fixed points. The listed site includes 34 original fixed points, with different markings - holes drilled in the rock, iron crosses, cairns or obelisks.	UNESCO sheet
53.22326.6916 Architectural, residential and cultural complex of the Radziwill family in Nesvizh	Cultural	(ii), (iv), (vi)	The architectural, residential and cultural complex of the Radziwill family in Nesvizh is located in central Belarus. From the Radziwill dynasty, which built and preserved this complex from the 16th century to 1939, have emerged some of the most important figures in European history and culture. Through their efforts, Nesvizh became a crucial place of influence in various fields of culture, science, arts, crafts and architecture. This ensemble consists of a palace and the Corpus Christi mausoleum church. The castle is made up of ten adjoining buildings, which have evolved as a single architectural ensemble around a hexagonal courtyard. The palaces, as well as the Corpus Christi Church, became important models that marked the development of architecture throughout central Europe and Russia.	UNESCO sheet

It will be enlarged and rebuilt thereafter, first in Renaissance style, then in Baroque style. After a century of abandonment and the serious damage suffered during the Napoleonic period, the castle will be restored at the end of the 19th century. Many elements will be added and the surrounding landscape will be transformed into a park. Its current form is a living testimony to its often troubled history.	UNESCO sheet
