House artisan, also called House of the market - a unique monument of baroque style, built in the town of Nesvizh in 1721. Perhaps the house was not built for artisans and for a prosperous merchant. In any case, the owner of the house was poor and could not afford a beautiful spacious home in the crowded area of ​​the city.

The house is situated opposite the Town Hall Nesvizh on the central town square, next door to the shopping arcade. Apparently, there once was a few houses in which they lived merchants and artisans. Unfortunately, to this day has not been preserved layout of the house, however, we can assume that on the ground floor housed shops and utility rooms or shop and upstairs living quarters were.

At the House of the craftsman is very beautiful figurative high gable overlooking the main square, which is characteristic for the civil construction of the Baroque style. Tile gable roof effectively sets off the white stucco facade. The original piece is a delicate metal balcony on the second floor of the house. Black lace wrought balcony lattice looks spectacular on the bright facade of the house. A characteristic feature of the Belarusian city houses: the first floor of the house is built of brick, and the second - a wooden one.

Noticeable asymmetrical arrangement of windows and doors. Probably, the reason for asymmetry - later restructuring and renovation of the house, but the baroque carved pediment smooths the wrong location of the window and door.

Now the house is a children's library artisan Nesvizh. Unfortunately, the interiors of the house have not been preserved.
