In 1751Sunenphaa, son ofSukhrungphaa, constructed the brick wall of about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) in length surrounding the Garhgaon Palace and the masonry gate leading to it.
After the destruction of the old palace it was rebuilt around 1752 as the present seven-storied structure bySuremphaa (1751–1769).
The earliest constructions were commissioned bySukhrungphaa in 1698 AD.[2][3] Rangpur was the capital of theAhom Kingdom and served as its military station.
