The Nur Mahal (Gandhari: نور دا محل, Nur dā Mahal) is a palace in Rhea, Gandhara. It serves as the official residence of the zamindar of Gandhara.

Constructed from 1872 to 1875, the palace was built as an Italian chateau on neoclassical lines. The current zamindara Daria II moved in, together with her husband and daughter, in September 2022, after previously growing up on the estate under the zamindarship of her father Ghazanfar.
