Sabalgarh Fort

Sabalgarh Fort is a 16th–17th-century hill fort on a large rock in the north-east of Sabalgarh, Morena district, Madhya Pradesh. The name means 'strong fort'. It was begun by Sabal Singh Gujjar, a noble at the court of Karauli, and completed by Gopala Singh of Karauli State. The fort has defensive walls, a main palace and many other buildings, and today lies in ruins, with a reputation for ghost stories.

Sikandar Lodi sent an army to take it in the 16th century, and the Akbarnama records its capture during Akbar's campaign of Asirgarh. Maratha forces under Lakhwa Dada took the fort after a stubborn fight in 1795, and it was at Sabalgarh that Daulat Rao Sindhia and Jaswant Rao Holkar met in 1805 to ally against the East India Company. It changed hands between Karauli and the Scindias, was captured by the British in 1804, and is counted among the region's notable medieval monuments.
