Kasmanda Palace

British colonial architecture in India

Kasmanda Palace is a historic hotel in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India. It was originally built in 1836 by Captain Rennie Tailour of the Bengal Engineers as part of the Christ Church complex. Over time, the building was used as a sanatorium for British soldiers during the Crimean War (1853–1856) and later became a school that operated from 1896 to 1910. In 1915, it was purchased by the ruling family of Kasmanda, a former princely state in Oudh, for use as a summer residence.
