Sardar Manzil

Among the crowd of Islamic architecture in Bhopal, Sardar Manzil occupies a place of eminence. The red-brick structure is a hybrid of the western and Asian style of architecture designed by a descendant of the Bourbon Dynasty of France. The history of Sardar Manzil dates back to the era Nawabs rulers whose courtroom was this picturesque monument. The lush green gardens with exotic flora, intricately carved arches and the oriental style of architecture give the space a grand appearance.

Sardar Manzil attracts ample tourists and locals who wish to view the aesthetic charm of the place. A wooden door bounds the entrance that opens to a large courtyard adorned by a fountain. Amazing paintings adorn the ceilings although thick cobwebs cover them. The large podium overlooking the garden was once the seat of the ruler and the rectangular open space houses a stage with rooms on either side. The headquarters of the Municipal Corporation is the present inhabitant of Sardar Manzil. Although the renovations of this royal monument are taking place, one can see its grandeur from outside.
