The Garden Palace was built in the late 19th century, around 1883, during the reign of Nawab Munawar Khan Babi, as a garden residence for the royal family. It served as the principal residence of the Nawabs of Balasinor and reflects the architectural tastes of the late colonial period.

The palace represents the heritage and lifestyle of the Babi dynasty of Balasinor and is an example of Indo-European palace architecture in Gujarat. It preserves royal traditions, artifacts and hospitality customs and is now maintained as a heritage property showcasing the region's princely history for visitors.
