Tagore Lodge — Attraction in Khulna Division

Rabindranath Tagore came to Kushtia in the end of the nineteenth century. He was the landlord of this region and also businessmen. During British period, Hindu families tend to set up family businesses among the partnership of family members. Tagore patronized his family business and established a private company named  “Tagore and Company”. Millpara was the industrial and commercial area at that period. You can find many mill factories in this region but those are abandoned. So Rabindra set up this duplex building as the office of his business named as Tagore Lodge. This building was elongated to the east-west. The main gateway is in the north. Iron made spiral staircase is in the west. At the beginning the business growth was significant. But later he failed to make revenue and gave up.

Now this building has renovated and newly painted by both the governments of Bangladesh and India. A metal made statue of Ravindranath Tagore has been placed there. But the building opens occasionally, when people comes here with reference or guest from government official invitation can visit this lodge.

Note: You don't need any ticket.
