The palace got completed along with the commissioning of Quilon-Madras rail line. It is a single storied red-brick building with seven rooms. The architecture of Cheena Kottaram is Indo-Saracenic - generally a blend of Indian architecture, European, Islamic and Moorish architecture. Cheena Kottaram is yet to get the 'National Heritage Monument' accreditation.[1] EtymologyKollamites called this rest house as Cheena Kottaram(China Palace) because of its resemblances with the ancient Chinese buildings. HistoryBefore the independence of India, the commercial capital of Travancore kingdom was Quilon(Kollam) - The city with maximum business & commercial reputation in the Travancore-Malabar Coast, with high level of export-import operations through the flourishing Quilon Port.[2] Kollam was known as Palace City that time as there were so many palaces in the city then. One and only airport in the Travancore-Malabar Coast was situated at Kollam city then. During that time, there were no rail-air connectivity to Thiruvananthapuram. Kings of Travancore used to travel from Kollam.[3] For that, they have built the Cheena Kottaram, close to the Quilon Junction railway station.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/fr/2005/07/15/stories/2005071502110300.htm |title=Royal connection |newspaper=The Hindu |accessdate=2 April 2015}} {{Kollam |state=expanded}}{{Tourism in Kerala}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://pazhayathu.blogspot.in/2009/02/cheena-kottaramchina-palaceat-quilon.html |title=Then and Now - Cheena Kottaram |publisher=Pazhayathu.Blogspot |accessdate=2 April 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://irfca.org/articles/jimmyjose-20051128-quilon.html |title=Quilon |publisher=IRFCA |accessdate=2 April 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/cheena-kottaram-to-get-a-makeover/article6474647.ece |title=Cheena Kottaram to get a makeover |newspaper=The Hindu |accessdate=2 April 2015}} 3 : Palaces in Kollam|Tourist attractions in Kollam|Tourist attractions in Kollam district |
