Nimtita zamindar bari, often called Nimtita Rajbari, is an erstwhile zamindari palace which used to be the official residence of the zamindar family of Nimtita in British India. The Nimtita village of Murshidabad district houses this palace which is situated on the bank of Ganges. This family was closely associated with the Jagtai Choudhury Bari.

History

In the years between 1866 and 1867, two cousins, Goursundar and Dwarikanath Choudhury, acquired substantial land holdings to form the Nimtita Estate.

Current condition

Although the Rajbari continued to exist, the Zamindari system was abolished in 1955. After the estate failed, things began to deteriorate. The Nimtita zamindar bari was designated as a historical site by the West Bengal Heritage Commission in June 2022.
