Mir. In the World of Heritage

Mir (meaning "world" and "peace"; but the name most likely originates from the name of the river the settlement is situated on) is a town in Hrodna Voblast on the banks of Miranka River. Mir village was founded sometime prior to 1345. It is home to a late medieval castle, which made the town the target of many attacks over the centuries.
