BELARUS

A nice UNESCO cover from Belarus, depicting a miniature sheet issued in 2008 celebrating the 425th anniversary of Nesvizh Castle.
The Architectural, Residential and Cultural Complex of the Radziwill Family at Nesvizh is located in central Belarus. The Radziwill dynasty, who built and kept the ensemble from the 16th century until 1939, gave birth to some of the most importante personalities in European history and culture. Due to their efforts, the town of Nesvizh came to exercise great influence in the sciences, arts and architecture. All the complex, including the castle, palaces and church, became importante prototypes marking the development of architecture in Central Europe and Russia.
