Wasif Manzil
ওয়াসিফ মঞ্জিল
A 20th-century Nawab palace on the south side of the palace grounds, nicknamed the 'New Palace' for its appearance, with a garden and statues in front.
Built by Nawab Wasif Ali Mirza, the palace combines European and Indo-Saracenic styles. It was damaged in the 1897 earthquake and later rebuilt. It is now managed by the Archaeological Survey of India; some galleries are open to visitors, and the garden has marble statues and fountains. It lies about 500 metres south of the Hazarduari and can be reached on foot. You can also see the Dakshin Darwaza, an old city gate by the river, nearby.
