Benedictine Nuns' Monastery Gate

Nesvizh, Benedictine nuns' monastery complex

The Gatehouse of the Benedictine Nuns' Monastery in Nesvizh was founded by Nikolay Christoph Radzivill Sirotka and his wife. It is the first presence of the Benedictine nuns on Belarusian territory. The church after re-consecration in 1866 was used by the Orthodox community, but during World War II it suffered significant damage from fire. Currently, the building serves as an auditorium.
