Mirza Safshikan, a Mughal military governor and relative of Subedar Shah Shuja, built this brick residential fort and bathhouse around 1649 in Trimohini. Today only the hammamkhana survives, featuring three brick domes with circular skylight openings that channel natural light into four vaulted washing rooms. Buried terracotta pipes and an adjacent brick well once circulated warm and cool water into sunken bathtubs. The site offers a rare intact look at 17th-century Mughal civil hygiene engineering in rural Bengal.
