Victor Palace, a dilapidated heritage building situated on the west bank of Sagardighi in Cooch Behar town, is being renovated with a Rs 75-lakh fund sanctioned by the Centre in 2005. The heritage building is likely to be turned into a tourist lodge after renovation. The palace was named after Prince Victor Nityendra Narayan. His parents ~ Maharaja Nripendra Narayan and Maharani Sunity Devi ~ are considered to be the founders of modern Cooch Behar. After the merger of the erstwhile princely state of Cooch Behar into the Indian Union and its transformation into a district of West Bengal in 1950, the government took over the properties and palaces of the erstwhile rulers.
