Lohagarh Fort (transl. Iron Fort) is an 18th-century fort located at Bharatpur in Rajasthan, India.Maharaja Suraj Mal commissioned its construction in 1732. The British army attempted to conquer this fort 13 times. The Lohagarh Fort withstood repeated attacks of British forces led by Lord Lake during the Siege of Bharatpur in January and February 1805 when they failed in all four attempts to storm the fortress, However the Fort was successfully breached by the British East India Company on January 18, 1826, under the command of Lord Combermere, This victory during the Second Siege of Bharatpur shattered the fort's long standing reputation of being completely impregnable.
