== Description ==<br />
The ''kothi'' at Bibyapur was built by [[Asaf-ud-Daula]], [[Nawab of Awadh]], in the late 18th century.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-08-25|title=Dilkusha, Bibiyapur kothis: History, nostalgia aplenty in Lucknow!|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/lucknow/dilkusha-bibiyapur-kothis-history-nostalgia-aplenty/story-M3vgB1CeYbrTkr0a8QvaUI.html|access-date=2021-01-13|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref> The ''kothi'' is named after the nearby village of Bibiyapur and is located on the banks of the [[Gomti River]]. Designed by [[Antoine Polier]] in the neo-classical style,<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=बिबीयापुर कोठी: अवध का भूला दिया गया नगीना|url=https://hindi.livehistoryindia.com/amazing-india/2021/01/11/bibiapur-kothi|access-date=2021-01-13|website=hindi.livehistoryindia.com|language=hi}}</ref> the residence was used as a country retreat, a place for the Nawab to escape pressures of royal court in nearby Lucknow. The building was better furnished than other residences owned by Asaf, and so was often visited by ladies of the royal court. The kothi remained in the royal family after Asaf-ud-Daula's death; in one notable instance, [[Wazir Ali Khan]] was placed under house arrest at the ''kothi'' by the British.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Kothi Bibiyapur « Tornos India|url=https://www.tornosindia.com/kothi-bibiyapur/|access-date=2021-01-13}}</ref><br />
<br />
Following the dissolution of the Nawab of Awadh, the British government of India used the home to host military celebrations. It was declared a protected site in 1917.<ref name=":1" /> The residence became part of an army cantonment and is currently managed by the Indian army, though the public is allowed to visit the building.<ref name=":0" /><br />
