Lohagarh Fort, also known as the Iron Fort, is a historic fort located in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India. It was constructed by the Jat ruler Maharaja Suraj Mal in the 18th century. The fort's name, Lohagarh, translates to "Iron Fort" in Hindi, and it earned this name due to its impregnability against numerous attacks by the British as well as the Marathas.
Lohagarh Fort is renowned for its robust construction and strategic location. It was designed to withstand prolonged sieges and was never successfully captured by any enemy force, despite several attempts by the British forces. The fort has two gates, namely the Ashtdhaatu Gate and the Chowburja Gate, each having their own significance.
Today, Lohagarh Fort stands as a testament to the valor and military prowess of the Jat rulers of Bharatpur. It attracts tourists and history enthusiasts who are interested in exploring its architecture, history, and the stories of its resistance against invaders.
