A stunning cozy castle. Here you can find everything: views from the castle, climbing walls and stairs, a variety of exhibits, coffee and chebureks in pottery. The spirit of European antiquity.

The castle is very colorful. We walked around it with pleasure. There is something to see and be impressed with. I recommend watching it. The only thing is to wear comfortable shoes, because the stairs in the castle are steep with high and not very comfortable steps.

The ugly organization of the museum's work during the influx of visitors during the New Year holidays. The three of us arrived by car on January 05. After buying tickets to the Mir Castle Museum, they could barely squeeze into the basement of the cloakroom, but they could not enter it. It wasn't even a queue, but a dense, unregulated crowd of several tour groups, with no beginning or end. We stood there for a few minutes, but the 70-year-old traveling companion felt stuffy in this crowd of a basement room. Since there was no chance to hand over the clothes, they went upstairs and asked for permission to go to the museum in outerwear or pick it up, but were refused in response. When we voiced our complaints to the administrator at the entrance, we received a rude response-a mockery with an offer to go out into the streets and rally if we didn't like something. I had to hand over the tickets to all three of them and leave with a very nasty feeling. You've wasted your time and ruined your mood. I do not recommend visiting with such an attitude of the staff and the inability of the museum management to properly organize its work during the holidays.

It's a very beautiful castle. A wonderful tour inside. It will be interesting not only for children, but also for adults. You can go for a walk all day!

We just got to the performance of the "Scottish infantry". Great, the guys have revived the tour by 200%. Unfortunately, there was an age limit in their remarks: I was a little worried about the children.
Minus the tour of the castle itself: there are not enough guides and the lack of a children's (shortened tour format)

I really liked the complex! Definitely worth a visit. Brutal, clean, with an interesting exposition. The children were delighted with the narrow passages and the dungeon. There is a beautiful cafe opposite the entrance to the castle

From Minsk along the ideal road to the place of power along the green fields of winter wheat. You need to know the history of the fraternal people. Historical shows, the flavor of the Middle Ages will not leave anyone indifferent.

A very beautiful castle, an interesting tour, an exciting performance of the Scots in the courtyard of the castle. And next to the castle there is a small cafe in the old Gothic style, where you can try and buy delicious lard, meat and krambambula (national alcoholic drink) of local production

In general, a good family leisure, but I can't say that it was very interesting, there are almost identical installations in the halls, the whole history of the castle is not shown.

A picturesque place. It's interesting inside. However, be prepared if you go to the walls - very narrow passages and steep stairs.
We climbed everything, a day of legs in the gym will not give such a load as these spiral stairs)
There are many reproductions, most of the collection was exported to other countries.
However, I still advise you to visit, it's just very pleasant to walk around.

Taking into account the fact that the Castle is only 100 km away from us, we visit there, sometimes passing through, then precisely for the purpose of visiting, not that often, but, so to speak, we do. And to our pleasure, and I think not only to ours, the Castle of Mir leaves a rather pleasant impression every time. In general, to be honest, in our country, whoever is responsible for maintaining such places in order should be given an order, well, or a medal, as a last resort). Of course, taking into account the fact that the Castle is 80-90% new and it probably does not require endless restoration work with itself, but it also requires a lot of effort to maintain such a colossus in perfect order! The same installers, hacking with short breaks, telling visitors about medieval battles, pay them, feed them ..., plus they are sober all the time!) I purposely came closer several times to detect the presence of a smell known to everyone or other signs of "this", always by!) On the other hand, when drunk, wave a halberd, you can easily grab your opponent's hand...) Also, next to the castle itself there is a tomb of the last owners, Svyatopolk-Mirsky. And on it, on the facade, there is, I'm not afraid of this word - a magnificent fresco of the Face of Christ, well, or Saved by Man-made, whoever likes it better. When I saw her for the first time, I lost the power of speech for a while, and I saw it from the road, it was an amazing sight. Moreover, there are photos of the military-post-war times, she also makes an impression there. And here the mystery is how she, that is, the fresco, survived all the turbulence of the 20th century, God only knows, or His Son, Jesus Christ) By the way, during the war, in its first months, there was a Jewish ghetto in the castle, the place itself was Jewish, well, when this fascist nit came, which Jews were not killed immediately, those were driven there, and who went there themselves, no one knew how it would all end... And it ended the way it usually did at that time, it ended... Local Jews gathered in the castle from 1.5 to 2 thousand people, well, they were gathered, taken away from the castle for a kilometer, where they were shot lower and all, and our local collaborators, policemen and so on took the most active part in this case. Today, there is an obelisk monument at the place of execution and burial, a very sad place that, in my opinion, requires a mandatory visit... Although, this place is not a tourist destination and it will be quite difficult to find it without knowing... However, if you want, the locals will probably tell you) Still, a little further to the village, there is a Catholic church, also an interesting place. As a nice woman who was there told us, this church in the two thousandth received a new rector in an almost dead state, without a roof and half the walls... But today, it is a fully functioning building, with all the attributes of a religious building.. And now you wonder how people managed to restore it, taking into account the fact that there are only eight Catholic families in the village of Mir... Well, summing up all of the above, adding to this that there is still a pretty good museum in the castle itself, which is also desirable to visit, the place definitely requires our attention! Oh yes, there's still a restaurant there! A very attractive and very nice place with, again, very decent cuisine, but about it in the review directly about the restaurant. Something like this... Good luck to everyone!

We managed to see all the expositions. The castle itself was built in the 16th and 17th centuries. It survived several owners, was destroyed several times, but restored. If you connect your imagination, you can immerse yourself in history and imagine what each room looked like. It is definitely worth a visit!

We were with the child and both were delighted! We climbed all the towers and galleries, watched the performance, shot with a bow and crossbow, squeaked and cannons! We went to the restaurant basement! I really liked the tour and the excellent guide! I really liked everything, we probably spent 5 hours in the castle and the park next to it! A must-visit! I recommend it! 👍🏻🇧🇾

We were in Mir castle on excursions with children, 11.10 years old, everyone liked it) unusual, interesting transitions between towers. In the courtyard of the castle, we also got to the performance of the Scots, it was fun, easy, humorous, and children and adults were very interested in weapons that could be touched and photographed after the performance. Overall, the impressions are very positive. The only drawback is the lack of an opportunity to have a snack. In the restaurant in the castle, we took the last table, but we did not manage to eat (the gastrofest had to be ordered in advance, and the rest of the dishes had to wait 1.5 hours. In order to find out, I had to wait for the waiter for half an hour (it's clear that it's a long weekend, a lot of people, and if you can get into a position with a gastrofest, then you could somehow prepare with the rest of the dishes, however, as well as with the number of waiters!!! But there are no hopeless situations - we managed with French fries and pancakes from a mini-cafe in the parking lot! And the sunny day and the weather, new impressions made our day wonderful!

If you are lucky with the weather, the impression of the castle will be enthusiastic, we had the sun, 26 degrees Celsius, the courtyard and exterior are admired, they are very tasty in the cafe, near the gate to the castle on the road, you can eat and drink beer on the veranda, this is for those who got on the tour without lunch, there there are tents with souvenirs, and horses running around the fields , there is a souvenir shop inside the castle, it's expensive, but they took magnets in the form of a castle, and there are cornflower hair headers for girls...they were not met either in Minsk or in Nesvizh, there is a restaurant inside the castle, but we did not go...

We were on Saturday and got to a great show! The castle is beautiful and peculiar. It is a pity that the English and Italian parks are nearby - only the name on the map. In fact, it's just an unkempt area with trees, even without paths.

A place that is one of the links in the chain of the history of Belarus. I recommend a guided visit, but it also takes place privately. If you want to take photos from the walls, skirts and heels will be extremely uncomfortable for women.

Great place. A well-restored castle from 1520, once belonging to the family of Princes Radziwills and in recent years before the nationalization of Svyatopolk - Mirsky.
A place that attracts tourists.
A high level of guides in the castle. Here you have information, theatricality, and the involvement of travelers in the game.
Restored or stylized objects, furnishings, amaze the imagination. You can fantasize, as it was in the Middle Ages.
It was cool to stay at the castle hotel and feel the atmosphere from the inside.
From 20.30 to 21.30, the castle is illuminated. Great shots, a super walk when there are a minimum of tourists and a maximum of immersion.
It was interesting to overcome the steps in the narrow passages of the tower, then my legs ached.
Near the park and an artificial lake, which offers excellent views of the castle!

The place is simply gorgeous to visit. I highly recommend it! We came to the castle on July 29-30, 2023. We booked a two-storey suite for a day at the castle hotel (room 301). We were together with children aged 5 and 10. The room is magnificent, atmospheric and cozy. The children were delighted and did not want to leave the room. Since there is only one double bed in the room, we decided to take an extra bed for the older child, it turned out to be a high-quality, sturdy cot with a mattress, pillow and bed linen. The extra seat cost only 30 rubles. The room had everything you needed and even more, a refrigerator, hygiene and cosmetic kits, plain and sparkling water, bathrobes, slippers... Everyone at the reception is very polite and friendly! In general, it's lovely. There is a well-groomed territory around the castle, where you can walk. The lake! Take fishing rods, you can fish right near the Mir Castle! The children didn't catch anything, but they were glad anyway. But the fishermen said that the fish was being caught. The museum in Mir Castle is the most gorgeous, colorful, many exhibits of that time! It is clear that everything is taken care of and taken care of! The children liked the stairways in the castle walls. It was a little scary for me, the steps are very steep, but the children turned out to be what they needed. The courtyard of the castle is cozy, there is a restaurant and a cafe, but we did not go there. We had lunch at a restaurant on the other side of the street called Mirum. Everything was very tasty, the service was at a high level. It was nice to have lunch and look at the Mir Castle. Not far from the cafe there are tents with fast food and various souvenirs. In general, you can talk for a very long time and there is something to talk about. This place is a must-visit! And I strongly advise you to stay at the castle hotel, it's just unforgettable to be in the castle itself with its history and atmosphere.It gets dark late in the evening, the castle lights turn on, there are no tourists anymore, the streets are empty and walking along the Mir Castle it seems that the whole castle is only yours....very romantic...
P.S. we haven't seen any ghosts in the castle)

The castle is like a castle, I liked it more in Nesvizh) although there are a lot of locations for photos in Mirsky, there is a small park area where you can take a quiet walk. But the cost of 2 rubles for a photo on a wooden throne is somehow too much ... stop ripping people off.

We were with the children, everyone is delighted!!! Very cool. During the tour, I will plunge into the past. Interesting locations, attributes of a past life, ascents and descents of narrow stairs, wooden floors creaking with age. Mannequins dressed in ballroom outfits, and it seems that they will spin you in an old waltz. Skins and heads (stuffed) of wild animals, horns of hunted (my guess) animals. I recommend it for a family holiday!!!!

Be sure to visit. A real medieval castle, it looks very impressive. The courtyard is amazing: like in the movies, paved with stone, everything is real, + appropriate music. Polite staff, reasonable cost of the tour. We also visited the museum with great pleasure (it is included in the ticket, and it is gorgeous). The children liked it very much, and the adults would love to!!!

It is very beautiful and interesting. But the tour itself is a bit short - only 45 minutes with a guide, and then by yourself. Here the guide did not come across very well - she seemed to tell us emotionally and communicated with the audience, she just dragged us into the tour, but - she speaks very quickly, not loudly - I did not understand her through the word:(

A very formal complex with associated museums, designed for tourists supplied by buses. I'm writing so that someone understands the quality of the place and doesn't have to worry too much about building a route to the castle (you can easily do without it). But if you're already stuck, then it's worth taking a walk around the town itself.

It is a very beautiful castle, there is something to admire both inside and outside. Beautiful views all around. Parking space. Cafe. Minus - you need to move in only one direction during the inspection along the arrows. I think it would be more correct to be able to set priorities for my own money - what I want to see first and what then.

The complex is based on a real medieval castle! The hotel is very decent, there is a restaurant and a cafe with burgers. There are hotel rooms with stairs and a second level. In short, we felt ourselves in the atmosphere of the 16th century with the current comfort. A completely new feeling. An interesting museum, especially for those who are interested in history and geography. On the territory, animators-reenactors entertained the people well.
