Mir. Zamirye Manor of Svyatopolk-Mirsky family.
In the village of Mir of the Korelichi district, many architectural and ancient monuments have been preserved to our time. The Radziwill Castle has been restored. In the town itself, there are several religious buildings and shopping malls around the shopping area.
But there are several ancient buildings in the town that few people know about. If you go to the park behind the castle, you will see the tomb of the princes Svyatopolk-Mirsky there. The Zamirye estate was created on the outskirts of the park and a palace was built.
In 1891, Prince Nikolai Ivanovich Svyatopolk-Mirsky acquired the town of Mir with a castle for 414 thousand silver rubles. The prince made his family residence in Mir. A two-storey stone palace was built for the new owners. The building was built in the neoclassical style. An outbuilding, outbuildings and a brewery were built nearby. A landscape park was made between the palace and the castle, in the middle of which a family chapel was built.
In 1898, a new pond was dug.
In the summer of 1898, Prince M. I. Svyatopolk-Mirsky died and the property passed to his wife Cleopatra Mikhailovna, and then to their son Mikhail.
During the First World War and during the revolution, the new stone palace burned down. Prince Mikhail Nikolaevich Svyatopolk-Mirsky decided not to rebuild the burnt-down palace, but began to rebuild the Radziwill Castle. Prior to that, the prince worked at the Russian Embassy in Britain.
Several years ago, archaeological excavations were carried out on the site of the Svyatopolk–Mirsky Palace by the famous historian Irina Ganetskaya. During the excavations, not only the foundations and basements of the palace of the late 19th century were discovered, but also the foundations of a building that existed on this site much earlier in the period of the 16th – 17th centuries. It is a building from the era of Prince Nicholas Radziwill Sirotka (1549-1616). An embroidery frame brick, ceramics and dishes of that era were found.
Now the foundations have been preserved and in the future it is planned to make a museum exhibition in the wing, which has survived to our time, which would tell about the Zamirye estate. in addition to the wing, where residential apartments are now located, a distillery and several other outbuildings have survived to our time.
