অষ্টাদশ শতাব্দীর মাঝামাঝি সময়ে জামালপুর পরগনার জমিদার শেখ ইনায়েতউল্লাহ আহসান মঞ্জিলের বর্তমান স্থান রংমহল নামে একটি প্রমোদভবন তৈরি করেন। পরবর্তীতে তার পুত্র শেখ মতিউল্লাহ রংমহলটি ফরাসি বণিকদের কাছে বিক্রি করে দেন। বাণিজ্য কুঠি হিসাবে এটি দীর্ঘদিন পরিচিত ছিল। এরপরে ১৮৩০-এ বেগমবাজারে বসবাসকারী নওয়াব আবদুল গনির পিতা খাজা আলীমুল্লাহ এটি ক্রয় করে বসবাস শুরু করেন। এই বাসভবনকে কেন্দ্র করে খাজা আবদুল গনি মার্টিন অ্যান্ড কোম্পানী নামক একটি ইউরোপীয় নির্মাণ ও প্রকৌশল-প্রতিষ্ঠানকে দিয়ে একটি মাস্টারপ্ল্যান তৈরী করান, যার প্রধান ইমারত ছিল আহসান মঞ্জিল। ১৮৫৯ সালে নওয়াব আবদুল গনি প্রাসাদটি নির্মাণ শুরু করেন যা ১৮৭২ সালে সমাপ্ত হয়। তিনি তার প্রিয় পুত্র খাজা আহসানুল্লাহর নামানুসারে এর নামকরণ করেন ‘আহসান মঞ্জিল’। ওই যুগে নবনির্মিত প্রাসাদ ভবনটি রংমহল ও পুরাতন ভবনটি অন্দরমহল নামে পরিচিত ছিল।
History
In the middle of the eighteenth century, Sheikh Enayetullah Ahsan, the zamindar of Jamalpur Pargana, built an amusement building called Rangmahal on the present site of the manzil.Later, his son Sheikh Matiullah sold the Rangmahal to French merchants.It has long been known as a trading post. Later, in 1830, Khwaja Alimullah, the father of Nawab Abdul Ghani, who lived in Begum Bazar, bought it and started living there.Khwaja Abdul Gani Martin & Co., a European construction and engineering company, developed a master plan for this residence.The main building of which was Ahsan Manzil.Nawab Abdul Gani started the construction of the palace in 1859 and it was completed in 1872.He named it 'Ahsan Manzil' after his beloved son Khwaja Ahsanullah.At that time the newly built palace building was known as Rangmahal and the old building was known as Andarmahal.The whole of Ahsan Manzil was severely damaged by a strong earthquake on 6 April 1888.The existing high dome was added during the reconstruction of the damaged Ahsan Manzil.High quality bricks were brought from Raniganj for reconstruction and repair.Engineer Govinda Chandra Roy conducted the repair work.At that time there was no such magnificent building in Dhaka city as Ahsan Manzil.The dome over the palace was one of the highest peaks in the city, attracting attention from afar.
When the earthquake hit Dhaka on 12 June 1897, the Ahsan Manzil was severely damaged.The Nahabat Khana adjacent to Islampur Road along the south verandah of Ahsan Manzil completely collapsed.It was later rebuilt by Nawab Ahsanullah.The Dhaka Nawab Estate was acquired by the government in 1952 under the Zamindari Eviction Act.But the residential buildings of the Nawabs, Ahsan Manzil and garden houses are out of acquisition.Over time, due to lack of funds and influence of the Nawab family, the maintenance of Ahsan Manzil became difficult.In the 1960's, members of the Nawab's family bought valuables at auction.
