According to the history, in the beginning of the nineteenth century, this town was included in Maldua's state. The name of the wife of King Tanankath Chowdhury was Joy Rama Shankari Devi. This place was later named Ranisankail after the Queen's name. The zamindar house was once very busy and artistic. Though the Rajbari was built almost a hundred years ago, modern impressions were found. The palace floor was once covered with marble stones, but there is no way to understand it now. Even though the palace is very much neglected, its construction techniques and magnitudes still stand as a witness of the glory past. There are many rooms in the palace.
