The construction of the palace wing east of Sundhoka, called the "Palace of Fifty-Five Windows", was started in 1697 by King Bhupatinath Malla. It is said that it took 58 years to complete - during the reign of his son King Ranjit Malla in 1754.

The palace wing has a surrounding wooden gallery on the upper floor, which is said to contain 55 windows. This floor collapsed during the earthquake of 1934 but was then rebuilt but not in its original shape.

The 55 Window Palace, also known as Pachpanna Jhyale Durbar in Nepali, is a historic palace located in Bhaktapur Durbar Square in Bhaktapur, Nepal. It was built during the reign of King Bhupatindra Malla in the 15th century and is considered one of the finest examples of traditional Newari architecture in Nepal.

The palace is named after its 55 intricately carved wooden windows, which are adorned with lattice work, statues of deities, and other decorative elements. The palace was originally used as a royal residence and a center for administration, and it was also the site of important ceremonies and events.

The 55 Window Palace is a three-story building with a central courtyard and a number of smaller rooms and chambers. The palace is built entirely from brick and timber, and its sloping roofs and ornate carvings are typical of Newari architecture. The palace is now a museum, where visitors can learn about the history of Bhaktapur and the Malla dynasty.
