Belarus Grodno Mir

Mir Castle Complex 13 by Alexxx Malev

Famed throughout history for its flourishing Roma and Jewish communities, this village is home to a notable castle compound.

Mir (meaning "world" and "peace"; but the name most likely originates from the name of the river the settlement is situated on) is an urban settlement in Karelicy raion, Hrodna Voblast, Belarus on the banks of Miranka River, about 85 kilometers southwest of the national capital, Minsk. Prior to 1939 the town was in Poland. Mir village was founded sometime prior to 1345. It is home to a late medieval castle, which made the town the target of many attacks over the centuries. Its attractions are Mir Castle Complex, St. Nicholas' Church, and Church of the Holy Trinity.

Thank you for helping to make our trip smooth and memorable. Most of the hotels were quite nice and the service was great, especially at the Doubletree by Hilton where they were very accommodating. I did take advantage of the information you provided regarding suggested sites, I found your website very helpful and I have already recommended it to various friends before travelling abroad.

I was more than pleased with my trip! The hotels that RoutePerfect suggested were fantastic and helped keep up comfortable and on budget. When our flight to Madrid was delayed, RoutePerfect’s customer service called the hotel (as there was a language barrier) to ensure we were able to check in. I will recommend RoutePerfect to anyone planning a trip, and will use your services in the future.
