I was on a quick one-hour visit to Shimla along with my sister and looking for the Kalibari when we came across this beautiful house on Mall Road.
Google says it is Bantony Castle, the erstwhile estate of the Maharaja of Sirmaur (Nahan, H.P.) The state government has acquired the heritage building which once housed the DGP office and it may be converted into a museum. I am sure many people have seen it and know about it already but can’t resist sharing the pics.
The last photo shows a cottage which is also a part of the estate. Internet blogs are describing the architecture as mock-Tudor style.
