Brieft History Of:
Tajhat Palace

Tajhat palace still attracts visitors from home and abroad because of its amassing architectural skill. The 100-year-old extraordinarily designed palace makes visitors ponder over the urbanisation of old Rangpur and craftsmanship of the past.

Mahiganj the then main town of Rangpur of which Tajhat was a part. This town was urbanised with the Tajhat viceroy as the centre..
The palace was erected in the middle of about ½ sq km of an area. The two-storied-building has wide stairs at the front side. In the middle of the roof there is a lofty round shaped tower that has made the whole building beautiful. There are also a number of round-shape small towers surrounding the roof.

The ground and upper floor of the building were decorated with valuable pieces of stone. Beautiful pictures were depicted on doors and windows.

The existing palace building is believed to have been erected in the early 20th century during the tenure of Raja Gopal Lal Roy. Total area of it was 56 acres. The area of the palace has been reduced as the government donated about 10 acres of land to the Agriculture Institute and 25 acres to the horticulture centre.

There are four ponds in the palace compound, which are as old as the dynasty of Tajhat.

The word taj means cap and hat means bazaar. In fact there was a bazaar of caps, about ½ km in the southwest of Mahiganj. Caps, studded with various kinds of pearls were sold at the bazaar. Hence, the place was called Tajhat. Since then it is known as Tajhat.
After 1972 Tajhat palace was an asset of the Archaeology Department. But it was handed over to the ministry of law in 1984. The ministry shifted the then Rangpur high court to the palace.
