Description

The house of the Catholic priest, also known as plebania, has been preserved in Nesvizh and is located next to the Orthodox Church. This building, recognized as an architectural monument, combines features of Baroque and classicism. It was built around the end of the XVI – early XVII centuries, in the same period when the church itself was built.

It is believed that in the second half of the XVIII century, the Nesvizh printing house was located in this building. In the 19th century, the house mainly served as housing for officers, and in the 20th century, the building was again used for some time as a city printing house. Subsequently, it was returned to the faithful, which once again emphasized its importance to the local community and culture.

Nesvizh. Plebania

The Pleban house in an archival document of the 22nd year of the XIX century was described as a stone building consisting of two floors, in which there were 30 windows. Inside the building there were 15 rooms, two corridors, two fireplaces, four storerooms and nine stoves. There were two large basements under the building, and a balcony towered over the front porch.


On the territory of the plebania there was a separate kitchen, which was a one-story stone stucco house covered with an iron roof, with eight windows. In the second half of the 19th century, a corner residential L-shaped wing was attached to the rectangular building of the plebania, which connected the apartment building with the kitchen. The outbuildings and laundry were made of wood. The plebania courtyard, where fruit trees grew, was surrounded on one side by a stone fence, and on the other sides by a wooden one.


As a result of later reconstructions, the Pleban house, originally built in the Baroque style, acquired the features of classicism. Fragments of large semicircular arched niches on the second floor, which remind of the Renaissance arcade, have been preserved on the courtyard facade. The openings of these arches were laid during the reconstruction of the building, but the arched gallery to which they led was preserved and connected all the rooms. Pilasters ran between the niches to the entire height of the second floor. The central part of the wall on the roof was highlighted by a triangular pediment with a small round window.


The internal layout of the plebania has been changed. The modern appearance of the building combines elements of various architectural styles, reflecting the rich history and multiple reconstructions to which it has been subjected over the centuries.
