Kareličy, also spelled Korelichi, offers a starting point for local history. The museum and churches are in the town; Mir Castle, by contrast, is in the wider district and should not be presented as a building in the town center.
Museum and Churches
The Korelichi District Local History Museum is located at 19 Sovetskaya Street in Korelichi. The museum’s exhibition comprises seven halls, including an area covering the region’s history from prehistoric times to the 18th century. The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in Korelichi was built of brick in 1866 in the retrospective Russian style. The Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Korelichi was built in 1938 in the Neoclassical style. Check current opening hours and access before making firm plans to visit.
Tapestries and a Regional Destination
Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł, known as “Rybonka,” opened a tapestry manufactory in Korelichi in 1760, which operated until 1792. The first tapestries made in Korelichi decorated the halls of Nesvizh Castle in 1764. The Mir Castle Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located in Korelichi District; its Gothic castle was later expanded in the Renaissance and Baroque styles, and the surroundings were landscaped as a park. The tapestries represent historical production in Kareličy; the Mir Castle Complex is a separate destination in the district.
