History

An entrance to the palace

There has been a house on the site since the early 18th century, when the

permanent settlement in Bengal, the Roys were recognised as landed Maharajas. They were avid followers of European influence, fashion, art, and culture. Their palace was developed on the outskirts of Natore in the 19th century. The town of Natore served as the headquarters of Rajshahi Division in the Bengal Presidency, and thus was an important administrative centre. Following Partition in 1947, the estate was formally abolished during major land reforms
in East Bengal.

On 24 July 1967, it was designated as a gubernatorial residence by

heads of government
for holding cabinet, political and diplomatic meetings outside the capital.
