The city hall in Nesvizh is one of the oldest administrative buildings in Belarus. Today it is one of the most significant and symbolic buildings in the city. The city hall tower rises above the market square from the 16th century. Now the city hall is surrounded by shopping malls. And this also seems to prove that in old times important local issues were resolved in places where citizens gathered. Then the rooms of the building have been reorganized. The general appearance and architectural identity of the building carry over to the past centuries.
The city hall was built according to the plans of the Italian architect D. M. Bernardoni. This building is six stories high. The tower section continues the main, more squat part. In 1586, the town received a privilege (a special legislative resolution) on the Magdeburg law. A document signed by Stefan Batory, the King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Grand Duke of Lithuania, opened up new opportunities for the city. Then Nesvizh gained tax relief, permission for full self-government, and judicial immunity. Local merchants and representatives of craft professions gained more loyal conditions for their business. The new status of the city appeared along with new rights. This meant that the city now needed a coat of arms. The coat of arms was divided into two parts. On the left of the coat of arms, there is a black eagle. On the right, a dozen of red, gold, and blue sashes are depicted.
Later in the same year, the city received another graft, from Nicholas Christopher Radziwill, a statesman and military figure of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This privilege determined the appearance of a new city project. It was necessary to build a stone city hall in the city. 10 years later, the city hall grown over the city square. The general construction scheme was similar to the city hall buildings in other European cities. The tower has indispensable elements of such buildings such as a facade clock and a raised platform that opens up a view of the city.
By the mid-19th century, the first floor was occupied by shops of traders, facilities, guards, strategic Armory, storage of fire equipment. On the second floor, there were the offices of the magistrate, including the courtroom, meeting facilities, room for placing the city of gifts and valuable items.
During the Northern war, the city was looted. The Central part of the city hall was damaged by fire. The last major reconstruction was at the end of the XX - beginning of the 21st century. Then the historical city hall took on the appearance of the 16th century.
