One of the best location in the middle of Lucknow city adjacent to High court. It is a historic place and they have maintained it very well, all structures are great and the whole place is very clean and Greenery. The buildings are in good shape and the main building which is in the centre is a Museum which is included in the entry ticket which is absolutely free, you only have to show the ticket while entering the museum. Giving four star only because of some couples I saw, they are using this place as a private place to do timepass and I have also noticed that there are names scratched and written on the wall on all buildings which is very shameful for such a beautiful place, UP government should take very serious action on this issue.

Significance: - The Residency, also called as the British Residency and Residency Complex, is a group of several buildings in a common precinct in the city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Entry ticket 10 rupees and the museum cost is also somewhat 10 or 20 . Try to clean the campus and clean and enjoy the essence of history. Follow @_the_.nature._clicks 📷

One of the important tourist places in Lucknow to visit. Lot of history hidden here. The lawns were clean and a lot of structures within the whole complex along with the description written for the same. Lots of places to take pictures and etc. I went with my friend here on a weekend and surprisingly there was not much of a crowd. Parking is limited, easy for a bike or scooter. Entry fee was about 20-30 INR per head.

British construction has always been fascinating and this place has a lot of historical tales to share. The ruins looks picturesque and the wide open spaces are refreshing with the peaceful chirping sounds of the birds around. It was not too crowded when I went here and the place was fairly well maintained in terms of cleanliness. Good place to hangout and do some photoshoots.

The place gives u a walk through the royalty the English officers lived and cherished during their reign. Its a nice place for photo lovers and history enthusiasts. Yes , you can find the love birds every here and there in the campus and that is what gives this place a romantic touch as well.

British Residency such a beautiful place for hanging out and also know for awadh history. It's also known as British Residency . Entry fees per head 25 rs . It's not a family park it just a couple park So i suggest don't go here with family specifically your kids.

I didn't enjoy the place, the vibe was very anti hindu. The monuments were good. It was well maintained and I like that ASI has put an option of buying tickets online,thus saving whatever paper they could. The ticket price was Rs. 25. The place is perfect for a pre wedding shoot as it has some gorgeous backgrounds.

This place was the residence of the British people. It is said that this is a haunted area and people are not allowed here at night. 5:30pm is the exit time from this place. Otherwise the old building of the Britishers are still there though they are the remains only. We were able to see beautiful peacocks here. The museum here was closed as we went on a public holiday.

This is a collection of numerous buildings in a commonplace precinct inside the town of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. It served as the residence for the British Resident General who became a consultant within the court docket of the Nawab.

Residency is a place where the governor of that time use to live. Historical places it is with full of knowledge. You can see their different places like kitchen, dinning hall, seminar hall, etc. Museum is also inside it which is free of cost no extra Money or tickets is required for that. Their you can get all the details about the residency and the war or attacks upon it. Good historical places for visit. College students , school students , family, friends any can go to visit here. Total amount for ticket for single person is 25 rupees.

The Residency, also called as the British Residency and Residency Complex, is a group of several buildings in a common precinct in the city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. It served as the residence for the British Resident General who was a representative in the court of the Nawab. The Residency is located in the heart of the city, in the vicinity of other monuments like Shaheed Smarak, Tehri Kothi and High Court Building. Construction started during the rule of Nawab Asaf-ud-Daulah and ended during the rule of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan II,[1] who was the fifth Nawab of the province of Awadh (British spelling Oudh). Construction took place between 1780 and 1800 AD. Between 1 July 1857 and 17 November 1857 the Residency was subject to the Siege of Lucknow, part of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The Residency now exists as ruins. The Residency has been maintained as it was at the time of the final relief, and the shattered walls are still scarred by cannon shot. Ever since Indian Independence, little has changed. The ruined building is now surrounded by lawns and flowerbeds and serves as a tourist attraction. The cemetery at the nearby ruined church has the graves of 2,000 men, women and children, including that of Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence who died during the siege. Once the residence for the British Resident General and now a popular tourist landmark in the Lucknow city, is The Residency. Also touted as the Residency Complex and British Residency, it is basically a group of buildings in one enclosure. Overlooking the River Gomti, this historical site in Lucknow is engirdled by gorgeous gardens and lawns. On a whole, the Residency is an architectural marvel in the city of Lucknow. One of the most interesting things to know about the Residency is that it has been a significant part of the Seige of Lucknow (1857); the ruins of which can still be seen at the site. The front gate of the complex was referred to as the Baillie guard gate. The name of this gateway was kept after Col. John, the first resident of the British Residency.

Nothing much to see here. This place contains empty buildings and great lawns. Ticket for enterance costs 25Rs. They have a paid parking available and charges for that was 20Rs. Best time to visit here will be on evening. Since there are no sun shades (only trees) this place becomes pretty hot. They have toilets which were neat n clean.

Construction started in 1775 & got completed in 1800 AD. Total area 33 acres. Residency was attacked by freedom fighters in 1857 k/a Lucknow siege, attack went for 87 days. Extensive damage resulted after attack. Ruins are evident on doors, windows, roofs and everywhere. Various buildings such as Banquet hall, treasury, school, hospital, post office, mosque etc are the part of the residency. Main attractions are Bailley Guard gate, treasure house, Dr Fayrer's house, Imambara, Begum kothi, museum and main building.

📍 Lucknow Residency Step back in time at the historic Lucknow Residency, a witness to the pivotal First War of Independence in 1857. Spread across 33 acres, the ruins narrate the siege endured by the British stronghold. The Residency's foundations were laid in 1775, evolving into an exclusive European settlement. The attack by Indian soldiers in 1857 led to a gripping 86-day captivity for the British within these walls. Now a museum, it offers a vivid glimpse into the struggle for freedom with original models, lithographs, and a compelling diorama. A must-visit to delve into India's rich history. #Lucknow #1857Revolt #HistoricalGem

I liked the place. Really serene, quiet. You can hear birds chirping. You can see lots of parrots in the tree top. Well maintained toilets. Great for photography. Not much to see in the museum but good. Very less crowded. You can get an idea of old soldier colonies or camps. No tuck shops or canteen etc inside. Time taken to visit min 1 hr - 3 hr.

Must visit those who love historical place. Near Lucknow High court area. Keep atleast 1.5 hrs in hand for visiting this place. Inside museum closed on Friday. Light and sound show evening at 6:30pm. Ticket rs.20/- per Indian. Rs. 500/- per foreigners. Camera allowed for still photography only. Entry till 6pm.

Place is good, one live the history here. Gun fire shots and Canon fire shots are still presents on walls of the residency. Only walls and pillars remained here roof is sky. Good place for photoshoot also. When I went , there was no water available for drinking. For this commodity I had given only four stars.

Very peaceful and historic place. Clean too. The museum inside is also good. Entry tickets are to be done online on the spot.

The British Residency of Lucknow, which is also a Residential Complex served as the headquarters for the generals of the British East India Company. However, with the 1857 uprising, this once composed complex turned into a British refugee camp during that revolt. The fort is now in ruins and a British cemetery nearby sites the graves of all the colonisers who died during the Lucknow siege. The ruins are now protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. The Residency also hosts a light and sound reminiscing the 1857 revolt show every evening. The British Residency houses three levels which once houses a billiards room, offices and a library besides a protective basement. There is also a huge cross at the entrance, remembering Major General Sir John Inglis and his wife. Some of the highlights of the Residency include the Begum Kothi, the Mosque and the Canteen during the time, which are all in ruins now. One of the walls of this ruin holds a marble tablet of all the soldiers who fought the Indian revolt. The grounds of the British Residency also houses an ancient Banquet Hall which still adorns some impressive carvings on its pillars and walls. There is also another section of refuge during the time, called the House of Dr Fayer, which was also used as a hospital.

Historical place to visit in Lucknow picnic spot must visit once

Amazing Architecture and history, a place worthwhile to spend good family time.

Awesome place. The feel is very 1857-ish with bullet holes on the facade and ruinous buildings kept as they were. The ASI has done a great job on this monument and the price of the ticket is just a nominal ₹25. Every building has been explained to the fullest, from the mess to the mosque and main residency. They let you take as many pics as you want, and since it was build by a nawab, the building has withstood the test of time. It is a walking distance (1.5 km) away from Indira Gandhi Planetarium. So you can visit that too while you're in the area and give that place a much needed boost! The compound is squeeky clean, one the only places in Lucknow wjere there is no potholes or garbage on the road. The security is adequate, they don't annoy you at every turn, but are vigilant enough to stop people from messing around. The greenery is so refreshing, the landscaping is done beautifully, and maintained as well. A must visit on your Lucknow tour!

Very good and beautiful place to see the history of the nation the first uprising of 1857 the mutiny. The museum has good stuff in it. One suggestion there is no place to eat inside so packing a few biscuits and chips won't do any harm. The museum has letters by rani of jhansi. The walls of the Residency has bullet marks and cannonball marks. There are many small cannons and 6 large cannons in the Residency. If you and your better half want to spend some time together where no is peeping this is the place to go. You can have kisses here without anyone distrubing you 😘😘. Trees, old castle like buildings great and beautiful environment. Best place. Overall nearest metro station is Hussain gunj you can take autorickshaw from Burlington to resicdency. Takes Rs.10 - Rs.15. there are good food outlets near the residency you can have things like panipuri and churmura but I won't recommend typical food from local vendors like puri sabzi. Or biriyani. Rather control your hunger and head out to nearest Domino's or anything like that.

The residency is One of the historic place in area where Britishers use live and have command over the area of Lucknow. Here you are are not going to see much but only Greenery and broken wall which was constructed in 1870's. Ticket cost is only 25 rupees and you can handbag with you. Cleanliness is sought at every sight. There is small museum which is not soo attractive.There is even a graveyard which comes is prohibited area.

Better to go during pleasant weather. I can say it's a picnic spot. To spend quality time with family, friends etc.

Nothing much to see, whole place is captured by couples and old fallen brick buildings, few of them still have piercings of bullets which depicts the war era. You can consider this as one of the last places to visit on your Lucknow tour.

Nice place and maintained very well. You can explore old building and museum. Totally family place and you will like old monuments. You have to pay entry ticket and didn't find any food joint inside the campus.

* Nice place to visit. * You can find the spots of gunshots here. * Depicts the old culture of British India. * It consists of stories since 1857. * It contains couple friendly parks and spaces. * Also have a cemetery for dead Viceroys of British Government. * Recommended for visit.

It's a Historical place in Lucknow. It's s huge place to see around and has a beautiful history about itself. About the history you can google it. It has a museum also there where you can get information about the place. You can click beautiful pictures of monuments there and also get clicked by your friends, husband, in sure you will love the your pictures when clicked.

No one who visits Lucknow should fail to visit this place. It’s the site of the 1857 First War of Independence when Indians and British clashed in bloody conflict resulting in horrific fatalities on both sides. Buildings have been left as they were after the conflict providing a poignant memory of the battle. Although the site is sizeable, well maintained pathways render it easily walkable. There’s so much to see, so much to absorb and think about. The green spaces are well maintained, staff are pleasant and efficient. A sad and evocative moment in history lingers on long in the memory. A small museum is attached with very interesting exhibits and displays that echo the conflict. One could spend a whole day here and not fail to be wholly absorbed. Lucknow City Corporation ( or whichever body is responsible for the site ) should be congratulated on a job well done.

A place well maintained. You will find yourself between old trees, birds, squirrels and ruins. But before you make any plans, remember to read all the timings or you may lose the opportunity to discover the place fully.

The place offers you peace and a look into history. A great place to enjoy greenery and monumental structures.There is a museum also showing 1857 revolution and relevant historical pieces. The museum is Closed on every Friday, so avoid visiting on Friday. However, for families and children this isn't an ideal place because lot of couples hangout there and perform physical intimacy. Their inappropriate act make this place reasonably awkard for families. Authorities should take note of this. Otherwise, it's great.

It is a very well maintained historical site; one of great turmoil during the annexation of Awadh. I didn't like the tone/language that painted Indians as villains in some of the boards here, but maybe that's too much nitpicking. Loved seeing the various buildings and wondering what a bustling little township it might have been. The museum is also well maintained and gives a very insightful account of the First War of Indian Independence

If you are ever in Lucknow, make sure to set aside some time to visit the Residency. It's a fascinating piece of history that will captivate you. Trust me, you will be amazed! The Residency is a beautiful old place in the center of Lucknow. When you go through its old gates, you will feel amazed and curious. The ancient buildings and nice gardens make it a pretty spot for a calm walk or a peaceful break. The Residency was part of the events in 1857 and the museum inside shows you what happened during that time.

The best place to visit on our trip to Lucknow. The place is really quaint and abundant in nature. The ruins are extensively spread out and calls for a nice walk in a good weather. Not a typical touristy place and you will love it only if you like quite solitary places. It has a small museum as well. You will like the place only if you are a fan of history. Side Note : This place has been promoted from the POV of Britishers and the revolt of 1857 by Indians has not been highlighted from Indian point of view.

The Residency is a beautiful historical site in the heart of Lucknow. As you walk through its ancient gates, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. The well-preserved ruins and lush gardens make for a picturesque setting, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful retreat.

This place has a history of valour of the Indian Freedom Fighters and how Lucknow played a significant role in it. The Residency, also known as the British Lodging and Residency Complex, is a group of several buildings in a common precinct in the city of Lucknow. It served as the residence for the British Resident General who was a representative in the court of the Nawab. The Residency is located in the heart of the city, in the vicinity of other monuments like Shaheed Smarak, Tehri Kothi and High Court Building. Constructed in the reign of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan between 1780 and 1800 AD, it was later used as a residence of the British Resident General. It now stands as historical ruins being a witness of the Siege of Lucknow that took place during the First War of Independence in 1857. This place went on to Siege by Indian Freedom Fighters for 87 days in 1857 as the first war for independence began. The Residency is a group of many buildings enclosed in a compound. The walls of the main building still stand shattered by the cannon shots. Post-Independence, little changes were made to preserve it as a part of history. The Residency is adorned with beautiful lawns and flowerbeds. The ruined church has a cemetery that holds graves of 2000 men, women, and children. Among these graves lies the grave of Henry Montgomery Lawrence with an epitaph scribbled with the line “Here lies the son of Empire who tried to do his duty.” Nearby his grave, another epitaph reads, “Do not weep my children, for I am not dead, but am sleeping here.” Normally it's not crowded as fewer people take an interest in knowing about history. You can book your ticket 🎫 in advance from the ASI Website and take the entry with a digital ticket.

Remnants of the British Cantonment area . A wonderful window into how the settlement was created in the heart of Lucknow . Historical significance around the Sepoy mutiny of 1857. It makes for a good walk - but if you can make it early - while there are trees , the paths do not have too much shade , so it is tough when hot . Fortunately paths are flat so folks on wheelchair 🦽 can also visit , with assistance .

A historical monument where each wall carries some stories of Sepoy Mutiny. There are also history related to the Audh Nawabs. The building complex is quite large and you will need 1.5 - 2 hrs to cover it properly. The official opening time is 9 am but we reached early and requested the guard to let us enter. He was very kind and allowed us after we got our online tickets. It was zero crowded at that time and we enjoyed our visit in peace. Bonus was many birds and squirrels who kept playing in the morning warmness. If you are in Lucknow, definitely visit this place preferably towards early morning.

The Residency is a big place, with a lot of history. This residency is witness to many history of India's Independence war. To enter the Residency, each person needs a ticket of 25 rupees. The whole place is huge, it will take around 2 hours to explore the whole place. There is a great museum inside the Residency, in which a lot of history is carefully preserved. The Residency is surrounded by green grass and includes the old English era Treasury Building, pre-independence Officers Mess, pre-war sepoy cooking area, pre-war training area for soldiers, pre-independence Banqueting Hall and many other things to witness the history. Residency has clean drinking water and clean bathroom facilities for all tourists.

Do visit this place during daylight, since it gets closed in the evening and the museum remains closed on FRIDAYs. This place is so picturesque and holds a very rich history. Certain mosque within this residency are still functional. The price for tickets (Indians-Rs25) (Foreigners-Rs400).Talking about the place it reflects the history of colonisation in Lucknow. The construction of the Residency was started in the late 1700s by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daulah, however, it was completed by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan. After a few years of the construction, it became British personnels’ hub. In the initial years, they were just the delegates of the East India Company. However, as the reign of British East India expanded, the city of Lucknow became their administrative centre, and as an effect of that, the Residency also came under the British commissioner of Awadh. The biggest event that this place has been a part of, is the first war of Independence which held in the year 1857. One of the main centres of this entire siege was Lucknow and the main target was The Residency. Cannons and bullets destroyed the major part of this place and even today, the traces of that revolt can still be seen at The Residency.

A piece of history one shouldn’t miss when visiting lucknow. ASI has done great restoration job in preserving the past. The tales of mutiny can be visualised on the surviving walls. Do see any video or read prior to visit to realise how much importance this place held in that Period both for Nawabs and British. A ticketed monument with a museum. The upkeep is good. Car parking is outside the monument.

best place If you are interested in historical society and curious to know about past things

A page of History preserved as it is , from 160 years ago ! A must visit place in your itinerary for Lucknow . Serene , tranquil and beautiful.

The old age residential remainings attentionof Britisher are kept for visitors. Most of the buildings are dilapidated and you can just sence the build up of those days, like what must be the height, size, spread over, brick as main construction materials and some artilari too. The faith pillars and rooms, very small museum can also widely visible. Few buildings are made of by Mughals and you can clearly make it. If you are interested in heritage travel, then it's a perfect place to visit. It's a big area, so takes time to roam around for 1 hours, very neat and clean, well maintained historical place. Tickets only 20 rupees for Indian. Because of Covid they take online payment only for tickets. At the same time this became a couple hotspot too. The outside surrounding is not so great. Need attention

One of the better managed ASI site. Beside the pavallion museum, less visibility is provided on the Indian resistance of 1857. It gives a feeling of being still modeled around the idea of 'Relief of Lucknow' rather than being the site of first war of Indian independence.

A place with so much historical importance. Also good place to hangout with friends. Nice views and above all very pleasant.

Great place to have a walk and just enjoy the British architecture. The tickets can be bought online from ASI's website.

A monument reminiscent of the first war of independence. The building, now ruins, are European style of architecture. The lush green surroundings are a treat to watch. The banyan trees are probably he centuries old. The bricked drainage system talks a lot of old engineering and workmanship. It houses a small mueseum also and a cemetry.

This place in Lucknow is a must visit. The Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 is evident with the gaping holes in the architecture. Some of the best shots can be captured here. The place still gives a feeling about the elegant living standards of the British officers in Colonial India.

A must visit location for history and nature lovers. Gorgeous vintage buildings with rich past, a museum which show cases the history of Lucknow with lots of open green space. Ideal place for an afternoon picnic or a photoshoot with scenic grasslands and historical backdrop.

Best place for photography and videography

British Residency was mainly the residence of Britishers who needed a place to reside after the treaty of Buxar. It remain open till 5PM. The entry ticket is minimal just 10-20INR. The place is huge and quite photogenic. Do visit this place when in Lucknow!

Very well preserved and maintained, the Residency is quite large and it would atleast take 1-1.5 hrs to cover the whole area

Worth visit! We visited on Diwali morning (4th Nov 2021) and I wish we could visit it in the night. Must visit place for history lover. Parking: Car Parking under construction, otherwise roadside parking is paid-parking and safe. What was missing, Guide-Service and Battery-car For senior people, batter-car/ golf-cart facility will enhance the experience as this place is very widely spread that you need 2-3 hours to cover by walking.

Historical place dating back to the era of Nawabs. It is the site for the first war of independence of India. Most of the buildings are in ruins now but are well preserved. The maintenance of park and surroundings is good. There is a nominal ticket for entry.

Historical witness of 1857 revolt with beautiful architecture and garden area of pre independence era, very well maintained by ASI.

Its an old building which was used as the residence of British officers posted in Lucknow(awadh). It is testimoney of 1st war of independence(1857). Today it cointains of ruins of several building named after several person who lived thereor the officer who held the post during the seize i.e banquet hall,Treasury, Gubbin's House etc. The place is well maintained by ASI though it suffered heavy damange during the war. A must visit place in Lucknow.

British Recidency is a nice tourist place in Lucknow. The Ruins of the Building s made by Bristish are beautiful to wander. Great place for photography. The place is opened from sunrise to sunset. Well maintained by govt. Inside there is a small Museum also. Take your time and explore this place. Great place for couples. And for tourists.

Historical place , if you are an enthusiastic person then a whole day will pass at that place. Good environment , well maintained place by ASI.

A very well maintained historical place. please do carry your water bottles.

Built in 1800, the Lucknow Residency was the home of the British High Commissioner during the British colonial period in Lucknow, the capital of what was then the area of Oud. On 1 July 1857, the Lucknow Residency came under siege. Despite being severely outnumbered and suffering dire conditions, the besieged managed to hold out for 87 days, transforming the once grand building into a hospital, arsenal and shelter. The complex of the Lucknow Residency is also preserved in the same state as it was at the end of the siege, including walls marked with bullet holes. There is also a ruined church with a cemetery that has graves of about 2000 English soldiers, men, women and children. An 1857 Memorial Museum has also been set up here to depict an accurate presentation of India's First war of independence in 1857 in Awadh.

A marvelous piece of history ,preseved . Seldom have seen ASI monuments so well kept .

Great Indian history of 1857 mutiny is revived. Small yet nicely preserved. Must see when visiting Lucknow.

Open from 8 A.M onwards this is one of the most famous monuments of Lucknow & entry fee is ₹25 per Indian adult. The site is well paved so persons of reduced mobility can easily access it too. There's a restroom within the complex and you can take your time appreciating how Mughal era technologies of the Lakhauri bricks were used by the British to construct the Residency and why it survived months of bombardment. Head early to beat the tourists & the many couples canoodling around.

If you want to look back in history, it is a good place to visit. Govt. Of India is taking care to maintain the place. Do not forget to visit the museum.

Memorial for first war against the British Raj, poses a lot of history. Not very popular amongst tourists, we found it quite empty in while we were there. The sounds of the bullets and cannons on walls can be very much felt while inside. Especially when inside the main building. The buildings have major damage over this long period of time. The government is trying to built or restore it back. There also seems to be a sound and light show in the evening. Overall its a place worth going, while in Lucknow.

History of indian culture, life, kings. Not very well maintained. But nice ambiance. Guide needed.

Very calm & peaceful place. Even though most of the buildings are now just ruins it still gives us a peek in history. They have done a good job with the maintenance & landscaping, but some visitors have ruined the buildings by making drawings, also it's become more of a couple's makeout point than a historical/archaeological site.

Really great spot to visit on a pleasant day. Huge campus area you can cover while walking for an hour or so. The ruined buildings that were a site of one of the first indian revolts against the british are worth pondering upon. There is also a museum inside with paintings and artifacts. Well maintained as well

The British Residency or Residency as it is popularly known as is a beautiful site and moreover an important testimony of our freedom struggle against British. It is one of the very few sites related to our first war of independence. The place is beautifully maintained through landscape garden and it houses a museum as well.Strictly recommended for history enthusiasts.And one who doesn't have interest in history, kindly stay away and don’t unnecessarily crowd and possibly vandalize the place. One of the best kept secret of Lucknow!! Must visit if you can respect and preserve history, not just for roaming around and selfies.

Nice historical place to visit. You can still see the bullet marks on the wall. This place is the example of " independence was taken not given". Try to avoid going on Fridays the incident museum was closed on that day though the park is open .

If u r a history worm then in whole Lucknow it is the place for u. It has incorporated the 1857 revolt. The proofs are everywhere in the residency. Must visit. It will take 2-3 hrs to completely visit. It has a museum also.

Old Heritage Site at Lucknow. Important place of 1857 revolt and British rule in Oudh. But not well protected by ASI Local people's are not very aware for their monument. Ticket price is 20 rs for Indians and 300 rs for foreigners. Security staff's are very rude and non cooperative. A small museum inside the place but closed on Friday.

Old and big space. Maintenance is really nice but structures are old and tell its own history. Closes by 6:30pm. Museum closes by 5pm

A piece of priceless history of Indian freedom struggle in the heart of Lucknow. The exquisitely beautiful British architecture and it’s ruins can almost make you sympathise for them.

Old buildings of East India company era being residence complex of British rulers commanders. Attacked by Indian brave people during 1857 mutiny. Building walls have holes due to mortar shells during attack. A place to visit by all as it symbolises the efforts made by brave sons of Bharat to achieve freedom from Britishers.

Must visit place in Lucknow for someone who is eager to know about past history of British and Nawabs . Shattered Buildings are really pretty also there is a Museum . Crowd is never too much even Sunday is not much crowded. Tickets are easily available outside in both online and offline mode. Location is in the heart of the city.

The Residency, a fascinating historical site protected by the ASI. This unique complex is home to various building ruins such as the Baillie Guard Gate, Treasury, Banquet Hall, Doctor Fayrer’s House, The Main Building, Begum Kothi, and more. Each structure tells a story of its own. One of the best things is its maintenance and cleanliness. As an Indian resident, you need an entry ticket priced at Rs. 25. If you're looking for a place to dive deep into the past, this is a must-visit spot. The entire complex is packed with historical significance and will take you at least 2 hours or more to explore.There's some ongoing renovation work happening at the Imambara. Note: if you plan on visiting on a Friday, the museum inside will be closed, the site itself is still open

Exceptional Scintillating Amazing preservation of history and heritage The ASI needs a big part in the back The architecture dates back to 1840s and 50s. The amazing planning and architecture is worth to be seen by all modern day engineers .

A historic place of Lucknow but uts a ruins due to the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. Once this place was used to be a residence of British General but it has a lot of history.

A big historical landmark in the heart of Lucknow where every broken wall carries the memories of India's first step towards independence.. the sepoy mutiny.. well maintained by ASI .. ticket is 25 Rs.. and definitely a place to visit

A historical monument where each wall carries some stories of Sepoy Mutiny. There are also history related to the Audh Nawabs. The building complex is quite large and you will need 1.5 - 2 hrs to cover it properly. The official opening time is 9 am. The staff was kind and courteous. It was zero crowded at that time and we enjoyed our visit in peace. Bonus was many birds and squirrels who kept playing in the morning warmness. If you are in Lucknow, definitely visit this place preferably towards early morning

Residency is the old residence of the British in India. The arcthitecture of the building is made in the Btitish style. It still has the marks of bullets and canon shots ofvthe 1857 freedom struggle. Which gives a chilling picture of that time. It jas large beautiful garden and lot of open space. Must visit place in Lucknow.

A place with rich history of 1857 war, though in ruins now but very well maintained as well self explanatory with all the information outside prominent spots.

Very large area for quiet reflection and walking. Not too crowded. For those interested, it's a piece of nuanced history of violence (not all justified) towards freedom. The grounds are well-maintained (thanks to the staff actively working there). Several interesting ruins of buildings as well as monuments erected in remembrance. The museum is small, but has a very nice summary of the history of the region.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Lucknow Park and it exceeded all my expectations. The ambiance was serene, the staff was incredibly hospitable, and the amenities were top-notch. The attention to detail in the rooms and the beautiful surroundings made my stay truly memorable. I highly recommend Lucknow Park for a delightful and relaxing experience.

The construction of the Residency was started in the late 1700s by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daulah, however, it was completed by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan. After a few years of the construction, it became British personnels’ hub. In the initial years, they were just the delegates of the East India Company. However, as the reign of British East India expanded, the city of Lucknow became their administrative centre, and as an effect of that, the Residency also came under the British commissioner of Awadh. The biggest event that this place has been a part of, is the first war of Independence which held in the year 1857. One of the main centres of this entire siege was Lucknow and the main target was The Residency. Cannons and bullets destroyed the major part of this place and even today, the traces of that revolt can still be seen at The Residency.
