Chattar Manzil or Umbrella Palace, which once served as the residence for the Awadhi rulers and their wives, is another must-visit tourist places in Lucknow. Just as the name suggests, the building features an umbrella-shaped dome. The structure displays elements from various styles of architecture, the most important of them being the European style. Currently, the building serves as a government office yet it is visited by travelers on account of its architectural beauty.Timings: 08:00 am to 06:00 pm; closed on Saturdays and SundaysEntry Fee: Free

A magnificent example of the history of Lucknow. An amalgamation of Greek, Roman and Mughal architecture, the building was built in 17th century by Claude Martin. The Nawab of Oudh later on bought this place from him. The place has such a huge basement, directly connected to the bank of Gomti river that the famous Gandola boat once used to enter inside the complex. The prominent Greek pediment, triangular portion beneath the sloping roof is beautifully carved out together with Roman styled columns with curved volute cornices. The ground floor retains the basic Mughal multifoil circular arch elements.

Its a quite good place. Silence around, but not too many people here to see this historical marvel. Infact it remain closed all the time and as a tourist you cannot enjoy the historical building. We couldnt enter inside but enjoyed the view from outside. I would suggest tourist to visit it in short period of time. It is opposite Lucknow court.

A stunning architectural marvel in Lucknow that dates back to the time of Nawabs of Lucknow, Chhatar Manzil is one of the most popular historical sites in Lucknow. The literal meaning of the term ‘Chhatar’ is Umbrella which comes from its guilt dome with a covering umbrella. Located on the banks of Gomati River, the foundation of this remarkable tourist place in Lucknow was laid by Nawab Ghazi-ud-din Haider. However, the construction of Chhatar Mazil got complete in the reign of his son - Nasir-ud-din Haider.

A lot is known about the City of Nawabs but significantly less information is gathered about their Shahi residence. One such monumental landmark that throws light on this aspect is Lucknows Chattar Manzil, the former resident palace of the Nawabs. The Chattar Manzil, also known as the Umbrella Palace, is a magnificent example of beauty, grandeur, and the engineering construct of the yore Mughal reign in the city.Though, it is a significant tourist attraction, several facts about the Chattar Manzil remain unearthed, much like the Monument itself. Check out these amazing facts about the Palace and fall in love with the beauty of Lucknow all over again:If you are interested in history, then definitely go to this place, here you will find many historical things and go with your family so that they too will know about historythank you...🙏🙏🙏🙏

The palace stand on the banks of the River Gomti. It is a five storeyed building which has two storeys below ground level while the rest are above it. The construction of Chattar Manzil was commenced by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan (1798-1814) and it was Ghazi-ud-din-Haider who later modified it. It served as a royal palace for the kings of Awadh till Wajid Ali Shah shifted his residence to Qaiserbagh. Two telescopes from England were placed at the roof top of the building for astronomical purposes. A portion of it was also destroyed by Britishers during the war of 1857.

It is great place to go. The upper head of this building is like a umbrella, which is why it is called the Chattar Manzil. This is very old. Its made of very old design. It still remains good and is worth looking at. Great place.

This place is good for adventure lovers.The best thing is that noone comes here to visit, so you have all your time for fun.Although the place is creepy, so better not to come with children or family.But with friends, this place is so cool.There is a tunnel also, and what is good is that it is open. You may go inside.Also the building is strange. When you walk in it, you might feel of being in a game like Max Payne.These days, they are renovating the place, so it might be that in future this place may turn into a museum and the cool creepiness might be lost.So better to come here before everything transforms completely.

I came here with my friends as i heard from many people that it is a haunted place in lucknow. We entered and the scenes were a bit scary for us. We had to take a torch with us as most of the inner rooms got no window or source of light available. Its a very big place also it has an underground tunnel with boats in it and that was really exciting for us to see.
