About this place
History & highlights
Built in 1962 by Kanwar Bikram Singh in an Indo-French style, Elysee Palace reflects the continued European architectural influence in Kapurthala even after the princely state’s heyday. Later conversion into an educational institution helped preserve the building instead of letting it fall into disrepair. Today it tells the story of Kapurthala’s transition from royal capital to modern district town, while still proudly displaying its cosmopolitan architectural heritage.
