King Devi Sinha (famous as a tax collector under British East India Company) built the old Raja Bari in 1776 AD. The present Raj Bari was built in 1865 by Raja Kirti Chandra Sinha Bahadur.
This is not a palace it was the home of one of the landlords in this area. Elevations are made in such a manner so that it looks similar to Hazarduari palace but it now got close to it. The palace is often referred to as a miniature version of the Hazarduari Palace due to its similarity of features.
The palace of age continues to carry a mysterious beauty with a detailed image of Hindu iconography. Nashipur Raj Estate was one of the largest zamindaris in Bengal.
Jhulan festival is very popular to celebrate the divine love of Lord Radha-Krishna. Held at Nashipur Palace, the festival was conducted by the Hindu world community.

Entry Fee: 15/-

Nice Palace to explore and photoshoot. Nashipur Rajbari of the Nashipur Raj Family is situated in Nashipur next to the old palace built by Raja Debi Singha. The current palace was built by Raja Kirti Chandra Singha Bahadur in 1865. It was the court of the Debi Singha, who is historically renowned for being the tax collector during the British Raj.

Very nice historical place but the place is not taken care by govt. Some normal people try to save the historical place which is really bad for our reservation of heritage.
You also find a temple inside the rajbari also you can find a hanging room where guilty people were hanged by the king.
Ticket price is 20rs/person

One important site at Murshidabad and a must visit. This was retorted built by Debi Singh the infamous torturer. There are many stories of his torture towards people who failed to pay taxes etc.
The palace is in a sorry state and the maintenance is poor. Some constructions may give way at any point of time.
The guides of this spot are also not well conversent of the actual incidents of the then era.
Some of the exhibits in the museum are said to be original belonging to the then era but it is clearly visible that they are not.

Lovely and historic place. You can visit this place and see the details of zamindar which was established on 1797 AD. Entry fee Rs 20/- and also you will get open parking which will be free. You can see here different idols of Vishnu and lord Hanuman.

NASIPUR RAJBARI/ NASIPUR PALACE ....a replica of HAZARDUARI with a henious past. A little distance from Kathgola Bagan, Murshidabad, stands tall the house of Raja Debi Singh...the infamous Tax Collector of the then East India Company, whose hostile method of tax collection from the poor farmers and subsequent henious torture to them if they failed to pay it...a story passes through generations. The main staircase is an exact replica of HAZARDUARI, so are the columns. In the house, there are many documents and armours related to that period. The temple of Rama, the house lord of Debi Singh is still there. Though the palace is devoid of any archeological protection, a trust body is trying their level best to protect this historic heritage. A visit will surely transport you to that era.

The Nasipur Rajbari was the family palace of the dynasty founded by Devi SIngh, who came from northern India as a trader, and appointed by the British as a local tax collector. The palace was built by Devi Singh's nephew, Raja Udwanta SIngha and his grand-nephew Raja Kirti Chandra SIngha.
The front facade of the palace has a Greek and Roman architectural influence, and has a stark resemblance with the Hazarduari palace. The inside of the palace has a rectangular courtyard at the centre. Beyond the courtyard there is a temple complex. The left and right flanks of the palace consisted of rooms which are in ruins due lack of maintenance. Only the front facade and section of the palace have received some repairs in recent years, but again lack in regular maintenance.
There is an entry fee of 10/- per head, but it is evident that the palace does not receive the required maintenance. It is heartbreaking to find such a beautiful architecture in a dilapidated condition. There are local guides available at a nominal cost, but the authenticity of their narration would be anybody's guess.
