Built during the late 16th century when Ishwaripur was the thriving fortified capital of King Pratapaditya, this square brick hammam served royal family members and court officials. The structure has four domed rooms: a dressing room, warm water pool, steam chamber, and furnace room, connected by terracotta earthenware pipes embedded in thick masonry walls. Restored by the Department of Archaeology, its perforated dome openings still illuminate the cool inner chambers. Combine your visit with the nearby Jeshoreshwari temple and Chanda Bhairab shrine along the same village road.
