About Kaiserbagh Bagh

Kaiserbagh Palace has a fascinating history dating back to the last years of Nawabi rule in Awadh. Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, known for his deep love for art, culture and extravagance, began the construction of Kaiserbagh in the mid-19th century. The palace complex was envisioned as a grand garden complex with palatial structures, lush gardens and decorative fountains. Kaiserbagh's architecture and design were heavily influenced by European styles, incorporating elements of Mughal, French and Italian aesthetics. The construction of Kaiserbagh was a significant undertaking, and was intended to symbolize the grandeur and sophistication of the Nawab. The palace complex was a haven for Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, who spent a lot of time here in artistic activities, cultural programs and recreational activities. After the annexation of Awadh by the British East India Company in 1856, the palace saw a change in use. Today, the Kaiserbagh Palace stands as a historical and architectural masterpiece, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the Nawabi era and displaying a blend of styles that is unique to the cultural heritage of Lucknow.
