দিনাজপুর রাজবাড়ি, দিনাজপুর


Dinajpur Rajbari is situated on the north-east portion of Dinajpur town which is originally enclosed with defensive moats and high rampart. This main Mohal and enclosing moat of Rajbari were constructed by Maharaja Prannath and his adopted son Ramnath in the 18th century. This was built in the mixture of European, Muslim and Hindu styles. Two parallel moats called Ramdanga surrounded the palace on all sides. All the building are occupying 16.41 acres of land.

Inside the palace boundary, there is a Krsna temple (on left) and some ruined outhouses and another inner gateway (on right). The palace is now a collection of old abandoned bricks, though only front side of the Rajbari was repaired. There are three Mohals (blocks) - Aina Mohal, Rani Mohal and Thakurbadi Mohal.
