Belarus ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 12 October 1988, and its inscribed sites span both cultural and natural heritage.
Cultural properties—such as the Mir Castle Complex and the Radziwill residence at Nesvizh—reflect themes of medieval and baroque architectural synthesis, urban aristocratic estates, and the region’s shared European influences. Its natural inscription, the Białowieża Forest (shared with Poland), exemplifies primeval forest ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, and ancient woodland continuity.
