Hemnagar is about 15 km from Gopalpur Upazila Sadar. This historic manor house is known to the locals as the fairy building. Hemchandra Chowdhury, an influential zamindar of Tangail, built this beautiful house in 1890.

The 124-year-old zamindar’s house is built in the eighteenth-century style of architecture. It is known from history that Kalibabu Chowdhury, the father of Hemchandra Chowdhury, the zamindar of Hemnagar, was a businessman. Kalibabu Chowdhury bought the zamindari of Shimulia Pargana under the Sunset Act.

Hemchandra Chowdhury was the eldest of Kalibabu Chowdhury’s four sons and four daughters. After taking charge of the zamindari, he built a zamindar house at Ambaria Estate under Madhupur Upazila of Mymensingh district and started managing the zamindari.

But the zamindari of a large area from Umberia to the east bank of the Jamuna and from there to Madhupur Garh became difficult for him to manage. So he built a second zamindar house in a village called Subarnakhali in Gopalpur Upazila. Later, when Subarnakhali was disappearing due to river erosion, he built this zamindar’s house in Shimlapara village and named the area after himself as Hemnagar.
