Ahsan Manzil at Dhaka

This is the heritage building of the then jamindar of Jamalpur. It was built during the late eighteenth century by Sheik Enayet Ullah.

It was built on a huge area covering a summer house for Sheik Enayet Ullah. The son of Sheik Enayet Ullah sold this marvellous property to the French traders. The French got defeated and the English took power of all the properties, once reigned by the French. The old French building was then reconstructed to two stories building by Ahsanullah, keeping similarity to the ‘Rangmahal’. The doom was a part of the reconstruction of this mahal and then came to be known as ‘Ahsan Manzil’.

This palace is situated on the bank of the river Buriganga. It is a beautiful, serene and tranquil place that keeps you away from the sultry summer heat.
