In the picturesque park near the majestic
Mir castle there is a small church with high tower-belfry and shining mosaic
with image of the Pantokrator. It seems to be an integral part of the castle,
though it is four centuries younger. It is the burial vault of the last owners
of Mir – the princes Svyatopolk-Mirskys. Here in first half of the 20th century
some members of this family were buried. The chapel is not a memorial anymore,
but it’s still a magnificent monument of architecture of art nouveau... - in: http://www.mirzamak.by/en/chapel.html
