History of Chattar Manzil

Historians believe that this building was constructed in memory of Chattar Kunwar around 1810. After the death of Saadat Ali Khan, his son Ghaziuddin Haider completed the construction work of this building. The Farhat Bakhsh Palace was originally built by French General Claude Martin. For any wood that was used in the construction of it, the tree on the bank of the river Gomti was cut. It is said that the complete construction of the Chattar Manzil was completed in 1781 and by 1800, Martin remained in it till the last breath.
