The Gun House once housed the armoury of the British soldiers who were assigned to defend the Maharaja of Mysore from attacks. The place has clearly seen better days.nnLocated just outside the Mysore Palace, this place is neglected and run-down and there's nothing to see here. This initially had a small museum and then a restaurant but now ruins and unkempt grass are the norm. Can avoid, without missing anything.

Very near it's a city centre.

Gun House was the arms storehouse during the reign of the Wodeyars. The Gun house as the name suggests housed the Canons and the royal armoury.nnNow it is a museum and a place of historical importance and a major landmark in Mysore.nnMysore is the kind of city where quaint and pretty buildings boast a pedigree going back to the last century. Round the corner from the palace is a bright red structure with white trimming. Called the Gun House, this building goes back more than a century and is a remnant of the city’s colonial past. When built, it was ‘gun-shed, guard and office rooms’. The building is a mix of Tudor turrets and European Baroque elements. The central hall has a sloped roof with dormer windows while the front arched openings have a stonework frame done in white. Rooms flank both ends and have gabled roofs with moulded pediments.
