Awesomazing!!!
I loved the place so much, it was super spooky buy still. I wonder why the hell its prohibited to go there.
Also, i saw a huge spectacled cobra there...
It is also said that a female spirit is seen at night, which slides down the stairs and jumps into the nearby lake. The story attached to this place is very spooky, and you cannot ignore them as the paranormal spirits will make you realize their presence every time.

The Butler Palace is a four-faceted palace with a stellar architecture and it is the only monument in Lucknow to be built in this way.

Since, the palace was shut down in 2009, it has become a ruin. Wild flora everywhere!
Wish i could go back in time and see its real beauty.

Named after Sir Spencer Harcourt Butler, a famous British Civil Servant and the Deputy Commissioner of Awadh, Butler Palace is an iconic Awadhi Heritage Building with a fascinating yet troubled history.

The foundation stone for the building was originally laid in 1915 by the Raja of Mahmudabad.

While the original plan was to build a palace with 3 wings, only 1 wing could be completed as Maharaja Ali Mohammad Khan donated the rest of the building funds for flood relief after the River Gomti flooded in 1921.

Now it is just lying there as a abandoned building. It is sad to see that the government is not taking any effort to preserve this cultural heritage of Lucknow.

Outstanding spooky experience when you will visit it during the dark.
Beautiful Monument which is now totally ruined gives very strong spooky scary vibes.

The enterance is totally destructed and the garden area around the building is in worsen condition with wild grasses and plants grown up.

Still the building gives very strong feeling of being beautiful and scary.
