The Istana Kenangan (Remembrance Palace) was a royal residence in Kuala Kangsar in Perak, Malaysia.
It was built in 1926 for Sultan Iskandar Shah by the Malay carpenter Enci Sepian from Bukit Mertajam, with the assistance of his sons Zainal Abidin and Ismail. The palace was previously known as the Valley Palace due to its location. The palace had been the official residence between 1931 and 1933. However, upon completion of Istana Iskandariah, the Istana Kenangan was used to host royal receptions and where the palace guests stayed. It is two storeys high with the top floor consisting of the bedchamber, family bedrooms and a dining hall. The gronud floor was once used as the official royal office where its original floor was made out of solid wood. The wooden floor however had not been replaced by marble.
It today houses the Royal Museum of Perak.
