আজকে ঋষি বঙ্কিম সরণীর উপর অবস্থিত শ্রীরামপুর জেলটি ১৮০৩ সালে ড্যানিশ প্রশাসন তৈরি করেন। ভারতে এটি ছিল ড্যানিশদের অধীনস্থ দ্বিতীয় কারাগার। ড্যানিশ উপনিবেশ শ্রীরামপুরে খুব বিশাল বড় কিছু না হলেও আইনশৃঙ্খলা বজায় রাখার জন্য একটি কোর্টঘর এবং জেল বা কাছারীর (catcherie/cutchery) খুবই দরকার ছিল। বলে রাখা ভালো এই Catcherie শব্দটি এসেছে হিন্দী/বাংলার কাছারী শব্দ থেকে।

Heritage Walk: Serampore, Hooghly (Part 2A)
Continuing Heritage Walk: Serampore
Unique Lodge
130-year old family home of the Bhattacharya family.
Pandit Kashinath Bhattacharya came to Serampore from Debipur, another village town of Hooghly on the request of Vidyasagar to teach Sanskrit. He settled in Dey St, but he died untimely. His son, Durga Prasanna became a building contractor and built this ancestral home for his family at 21 Dey Street. He was very fancy at his time, he founded a zoo inspired from Raja Rajendra Mullick's Marble Palace & the zoo. He also has a good number of dogs and won several trophies in the Dog Shows.
