Liahavichy Castle

It was built at the end of the 16th century by the hetman Yan Eromin of the Hadkevich family, on a hill in the Belarus town of the same name.

It stood on the bank of the Vedz'ma ("Witch") river, surrounded by a moat regulated by a dam.

Eromin's son, Yan Korol, the hetman of the Great Lithuanian Principality, reconstructed and fortified the castle.

The castle survived a siege in 1660, the only fortress in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania not to be captured by Russia during the Russo-Polish War (1654–67).

The castle and surrounding settlement was destroyed during the Great Northern War of 1700–21, after the Radziwiłł family had the crown requisition the cannons of Liachavičy for the defense of Słuck.
