Corpus Christi Church, also known as the Jesuit Church, is a prominent Roman Catholic church located in the town of Nyasvizh, Belarus. Constructed between 1587 and 1593, it is one of the oldest baroque-style buildings in the country and was designed by the Italian architect Giovanni Maria Bernardoni. The church was commissioned by the Radziwiłł family, one of the most influential noble families in Polish-Lithuanian history. The interior of Corpus Christi Church is richly decorated with frescoes, stuccoes, and sculptures, reflecting the grandeur and artistic sophistication of the era. The church’s crypt houses the tombs of over 70 members of the Radziwiłł family, making it not only a place of worship but also a significant historical and cultural site. Throughout its history, the church has witnessed numerous changes, including periods of closure and restoration.
