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