The fort of Pachar was built in the late 18th century and the adjoining Golden Castle Resort is a later edifice. Originally a court, it was given its present shape by successive Thakur of Pachar. The descendants of Guman Singh have now opened their castle for tourists. This building resembles a European country mansion and has spacious lawns and swimming pool. The castle has interesting chambers like the Diwan-e-Khas (dinning-hall) and the Rang Mahal (lobby) with its collection of old family portraits, paintings and arched doorways. The bedrooms are large and traditional style of decor has been maintained throughout. Also of interest is the Jain temple with its intricate gold and mirror work.
