List of World Heritage Sites in Belarus

UNESCO lists sites under ten criteria; each entry must meet at least one of the criteria. Criteria i through vi are cultural, whereas vii through x are natural.[3]

Site	Image	Location	Year listed	UNESCO data	Description
Belavezhskaya Pushcha National Park (Białowieża Forest)		Brest Province and Grodno Province	1992	33ter; vii (natural)	Bialowieza Forest conserves a diverse complex of protected forest ecosystems, including extensive old-growth forests, which exemplify the Central European mixed forests terrestrial ecoregion, and a range of associated non-forest habitats, including wet meadows, river valleys and other wetlands. The area is home to the largest free-roaming population of European Bison. The Polish part of the site was first added to the list in 1979. The part in Belarus was added in 1992 and the year 2014 saw a large extension of the protected area.[4]
Mir Castle Complex		Mir, Grodno Province	2000	625; ii, iv (cultural)	Mir Castle is an exceptional example of a central European castle, reflecting in its design and layout successive cultural influences (Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance) that blend harmoniously to create an impressive monument to the history of this region. The region in which Mir Castle stands has a long history of political and cultural confrontation and coalescence, which is graphically represented in the form and appearance of the ensemble.
Struve Geodetic Arc		Brest Province and Grodno Province	2005	1187; ii, iii, vi (cultural)	The Struve Geodetic Arc is a series of triangulation points, stretching over a distance of 2,820 kilometres (1,750 mi) from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea. The points were set up in a survey by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve who first carried out an accurate measurement of a long segment of a meridian – and along with it the size and shape of the Earth. Originally, there were 265 station points. The World Heritage Site includes 34 points in ten countries (North to South: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine), five of which are in Belarus.[5]
Architectural, Residential and Cultural Complex of the Radziwill Family at Nesvizh		Nesvizh, Minsk Province	2005	1196; ii, iv, vi (cultural)	The Architectural, Residential and Cultural Complex of the Radziwill Family at Nesvizh was the cradle for the introduction of new concepts based on the synthesis of Western traditions, leading to the establishment of a new architectural school in Central Europe.

In addition to sites inscribed on the World Heritage List, member states can maintain a list of tentative sites that they may consider for nomination. Nominations for the World Heritage List are only accepted if the site was previously listed on the tentative list.[6] As of 2019, Belarus lists five properties on its tentative list.[2]
