The Palace of Pakutia , also known as Pakutia Zamindar Bari, is a historical palace complex located in the village of Pakutia under Nagarpur Upazila of Tangail District, Bangladesh.[1][2]
History
The palace was built in the early 20th century by Ramkrishna Saha Mandal, a prominent Zamindar landlord of the region. The estate comprises three main residential buildings, traditionally known as the Boro Taraf (large estate), Mejo Taraf (middle estate), and Chhoto Taraf (small estate), which were allocated to his three sons.[3]
Following the Partition of India in 1947 and the subsequent abolition of the zamindari system under the East Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act of 1950, the landlords left the estate. The main complex was later used to house the BCS (Pakutia) Public School and College.
Architecture
The complex showcases typical late-colonial Indo-Saracenic style, incorporating European neoclassical elements alongside local South Asian motifs. The front facades feature tall Corinthian columns, detailed stucco reliefs, and classical arches.
