Danish Governor’s bungalow to be renovated
Special Correspondent
NAGAPATTINAM: The Danish Governor’s bungalow at Tarangampadi will soon be renovated at a cost of Rs.87.12 lakh.
The National Museum, Denmark, has come forward to fund the renovation of the clapped-out building, according to Collector M. Jayaraman.
The work will be executed through the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, a New Delhi-based organisation set up in 1984 to protect and conserve India’s natural and cultural heritage.
The two century-old bungalow was built in 1785 A.D. to the Danish architecture.
After Independence, it came under the control of the Union Government, and housed the office of the Salt Department till 1988. Now it is under the Tamil Nadu Tourism Department.
Tourist attraction
The Collector said the work would get under way shortly, and it would be made a tourist attraction similar to the Dansborg, a Danish fort, and the Masilamaninathar temple on the shores of Tarangampadi and the New Jerusalem Church and Zion Church.
