Constructed by the Koch King Maharaja Nripendra Narayan in 1887, the Cooch Behar Palace, also known as Victor Jubilee Palace demonstrates a unique blend of the European and Indian architecture. Inspired by the design of the Buckingham Palace, this architectural masterpiece possesses multiple breezy verandahs, halls, luxurious bedrooms, living and dining areas, billiards hall, dressing room and ladies’ gallery, library and toshakhana (treasure house).
The Durbar Hall, with its gilded dome above, is the main attraction of the palace. Surrounded by a pleasing garden, the Palace displays the regal era of Koch dynasty. A section of the Palace has been transformed into a Museum which showcases several royal antiques such as beautiful oil paintings, terracotta figures and photographs of ancient era.
