Amjhupi Nilkuthi is an ancient British Nilkuthi and archaeological site of Bangladesh located in Meherpur district. [1] It is located in a village called Amjhupi, 6 km east of Meherpur district. Next to it is the river Kajla.
It was the first conservation initiative taken in 1972 when Bangladesh was established after the end of indigo cultivation in the subcontinent. This archaeological site was initially used as a Nilkuthi, but gradually became the office of the East India Company.
According to historians, this Nilakuti was most likely established in the 1800s.[2] The ax bears witness to the tyranny and exploitation of English rulers such as Kenny, Simpson, James Hill, Fergun Crawford, Warts, Hamilton and many others.
