| Additional information |
Nesvizh's Roman Catholic church — formally the Corpus Christi Church — was built by the Radziwiłł family beginning in 1587 and is widely regarded as the first Baroque structure erected on the territory of present-day Belarus. The architect was Jan Maria Bernardoni, a Jesuit from Lugano whose design closely followed the Gesù in Rome. The Radziwiłł family crypts beneath the church contain the remains of over 70 members of that dynasty, making it one of the most significant aristocratic burial sites in Eastern Europe. Belarus issued this coin the same year the Nesvizh Castle complex — including the church — was submitted for UNESCO World Heritage consideration, a status granted in 2005.
