The **Ramgopal Chaki Zamindar Bari** in Pabna stands as a timeless symbol of Bengal's zamindari heritage, blending grandeur with poignant history.
Adjacent to the ancestral home of legendary actress **Suchitra Sen**, this colonial-era mansion was envisioned by Ramgopal Chaki, the brilliant son of Haradhan Chaki—a powerful "lethal" zamindar who once controlled a vast estate including a third of the Chalan Beel around the 1850s.
A top scholar who earned a scholarship in his school-leaving exams, Ramgopal rejected the family estate, studied law in Calcutta, and rose to become Deputy Commissioner in Assam and later a judge at Alipur Court. Honored as **Rai Bahadur** for his fair justice, he never saw his dream home completed—he passed away around 1900, with the housewarming held two years later.
The old brick walls still hold echoes of scholarly ambition, lathial roars, and faded opulence, making it one of Pabna's most evocative historical gems.
