Nashipur Rajbari is a 19th-century neoclassical mansion built by Raja Bahadur Kirti Chandra Singha Bahadur in the Murshidabad district. The current structure, constructed in 1905, replaced an earlier building destroyed by fire. It features a prominent two-story facade with high Corinthian columns, typical of the colonial-era architecture popular among Bengal's landed gentry. The palace is historically linked to the Nashipur Estate, which held significant influence over the judicial and social administration of the region. Much of the original interior design reflects the fusion of European structural layouts with local aristocratic aesthetics. The site remains a notable landmark reflecting the decline of the zamindari system in British India.
