Cooch Behar Palace

About this place

A royal palace that stands out for its European-style elegance, broad façade, and museum-like feel—often compared in spirit to grand palaces abroad. It’s one of the most visually impressive heritage buildings in North Bengal and a key stop for history lovers.

History & highlights

Built in 1887 during the reign of Maharaja Nripendra Narayan of the Koch dynasty, the palace reflects late 19th-century princely-state modernity and European architectural influence (Italian Renaissance / classical Western style). Over time, it transitioned from royal residence symbolism to a heritage museum that preserves the region’s royal narrative.
