Ahsan Manzil is the residential palace and zamindari sadar kachari of the nawabs of Dhaka in the Kumartuli area on the banks of Buriganga river. Currently the museum. It is said that this place was in Rangamahal of Zamindar Sheikh Enayetullah of Jamalpur Pargana here during the Mughal period. After purchasing Rangamahalati from his son Matiullah, the French bought a business cloth there.
In 1830, Khwaja Alimullah bought Kuthibari from the French and made it necessary to make it its home. On behalf of this house, Khwaja Abdul Gani Martin and Company, a European construction and engineer organization, developed a master plan whose main building was Ahsan Manzil. The construction work of Ahsan Manzil began in 1859 and was completed in 1872. Abdul Gani named after his son Khwaja Ahsanullah, named the building Ahsan Manzil. In that era, the newly constructed palace building was known as Rangamahal and the previous building was known as Andromala.
