Radziwiłłs to attend opening ceremony of Nyasvizh Castle

Princes Matsei and Mikalai Radziwiłł are at the Polish-Belarusian border now. They are travelling by car. It is known that they will be the only representatives of the noble family at the tomorrow's opening ceremony of Nyasvizh Castle although the invitation was meant for more people.

Euroradio informed that the castle would be opened on July 20 three days ago. However, the official confirmation was distributed by BelTA only yesterday.

It is not clear whether Alyaksandr Lukashenka is going to attend the ceremony. However, passport numbers of the museum employees have been written down and they have been warned about the admission regime. Let us remind you that Lukashenka attended the opening ceremony of Mir Castle.

The reconstruction of Nyasvizh Castel was supposed to finish in 2010. The reconstruction process caused a lot of specialists' remarks - they noticed many violations of reconstruction standards. The restoration completely destroyed the three-storied  castle gallery and the castle bridge was almost completely destroyed too. Moreover, the interior was also affected - the moulding was changed in many places and the old windows were replaced with modern wooden double glass panes.
