Baidyapur Jora Deul was built in 1550 by Subhananda Pal. The two brick-built temples, with square bases probably had domed top in their original shape.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title= ASI, Kolkata Circle|url=http://asikolkata.in/barddhaman.aspx}}</ref> Their facades are of carved bricks.<ref name=":1" />The main temple faces east and the small north and they are interconnected with a passage and is datable to c.1550 A.D.<ref name=":1" /> The larger temple has an inscription over its domway.<ref name=":1" />

According to the [[List of Monuments of National Importance in West Bengal]] the two ancient temples (joined together) at Baidyapur is an ASI listed monument.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://asi.nic.in/alphabetical-list-of-monuments-west-bengal/|title=List of Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains of West Bengal - Archaeological Survey of India|publisher= ASI|work= Item no. 46|access-date=25 January 2020}}</ref>
