Rizwan Castle: A Historic Edifice in Disrepair

Rizwan Castle, a nearly century-old historic building in Patna, lies in a dilapidated state awaiting restoration. Despite numerous political promises, heritage preservation remains overlooked. Built by barrister and freedom fighter Hasan Imam, this Scottish-style castle now serves as a stark reminder of neglect, enduring family disputes, and governmental inaction.

Amid the anticipation for a new government, the nearly century-old Rizwan Castle in the heart of Patna stands as a silent plea for restoration.

The once-grand hallway, now covered in a thick layer of dust, leads to a crumbling grand stairway, obscuring its intricate woodwork.

Despite marathon public rallies and a flurry of social media promises by politicians, the preservation of heritage structures like Rizwan Castle remains a distant priority. This Scottish-style edifice, built by barrister and freedom fighter Hasan Imam, now lies in disrepair, beleaguered by family disputes and lack of maintenance.
