Asman Garh Palace located in Malakpet, a suburb of Hyderabad, was a palace belonging to the Paigahs of Hyderabad State. The palace was declared a heritage structure by INTACH.[1] Asman means "sky", and Garh means "home", since the palace was located so high on a hillock.
The palace hosted a museum displaying archaeological relics. After that converted to an orphanage for a brief period of time. The palace presently is converted into a school (St Joseph's Public School, Asman Garh Palace branch). Located near the TV tower at Malakpet, the Asmangarh Palace was constructed in 1885 by the Paigah Noble Sir Asman Jah. Large parts of the heritage structure was demolished in 2021 by school authorities to build a structure adjacent to it. [2]
