 Istana Darul Ehsan, Putrajaya
Istana Darul Ehsan is the weekend palace of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah. It is located in Precinct 8 of Putrajaya. Construction began when Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, the then Sultan of Selangor, reigned at the 11th Yang Di-Pertuan Agung, the king of Malaysia, in 1999. When His Majesty passed away in 2001, the palace was still incomplete.
The Tudor-style Istana Darul Ehsan is grey in colour, with dark blue roofing. The grand entrance door leads to a semi-circular lobby.
