English: Beit Junblatt (Arabic: بيت جنبلاط); originally Janpolad Palace (Arabic: قصر جان بولاد), is a historic mansion in Aleppo, Syria, built during the 2nd half of the 16th century by a Kurdish emir of the Jumblatt family, Jumblatt ibn Qasim. In 1604-1605, it has briefly served a residence for the Ottoman wāli of Aleppo Hussein Pasha Janpolad
Français : Le palais Joumblatt (قصر جنبلاط) est un palais sis à Alep, deuxième ville de Syrie, dans le Nord du pays. Il a été construit dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle pour Joumblatt ibn Qassim, émir de la famille Joumblatt. Il sert en 1604-1605 de résidence au wali ottoman d'Alep, Hussein Pacha Janpolad (Joumblatt).
However, many associated external buildings around the palace -- including a military barrack and stables -- were ruined during the 1960s. It was then being restored by the Kuwait-Syria-Arab Fund to serve as a cultural centre and an library. Dar Janpolad (Beit Junblatt) has since suffered material damage from fighting during the Syrian civil war.
