The Noor Mahal is a palace in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan. It is one of the hidden gems of Bahawalpur, due to the lack of publicity.

It was built in 1872 like an Italian chateau on neoclassical lines.It belonged to the Nawabs of Bahawalpur princely state, during British Raj.

The construction of Noor palace was undertaken by Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan the fourth, who was also known as the Shan Jahan of Bahawalpur for his passion of constructing beautiful buildings.

Mr. Heennan, an Englishman who was the state engineer, designed the building. A map and coins of the state were buried in its foundation as a good omen.

Most of the palace's materials and furniture were imported from England and Italy. The construction of the palace was completed in 1875 at a cost of Rs. 1.2m (approx. USD 8.1m in todays exchange rate.)

Noor Palace covers an area of 44,600 square feet (4,140 m2). It has 32 rooms including 14 in the basement, 6 verandas and 5 domes.There are various stories regarding its construction. According to a legend, Nawab Adnan Abbasi IV had the palace made for his wife; however, she was only there for 1 night, when she saw the adjoining graveyard from her balcony she refused to spend another night there, and so it remained unused during his reign.
In 1956, when Bahawalpur State was merged into Pakistan, the building was taken over by the Auqaf department.

The palace was leased to the army in 1971; in 1997 the army purchased it for the sum of 119 million.

The building was declared a “protected monument” in September 2001 by the Government of Pakistan's Department of Archeology, and it is now open for general visitors, students trips and other interested persons.
