Fatehgarh Fort

Fatehgarh Fort is a historic fort located in Fatehgarh Cantonment, the administrative headquarters of Farrukhabad district, Uttar Pradesh, on the bank of the Ganges River. Built in 1714 by Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash, founder of Farrukhabad, it later served as an important military station under the British. Today the fort area is occupied by the Indian Army and forms part of the Fatehgarh Cantonment.

Visitors can expect to see the exterior ramparts and surroundings of a historic riverside fort situated within an active military cantonment. The fort is located on the bank of the Ganges and is not generally open for interior tourism. Views are typically limited to the outer walls and cantonment area from public roads. The setting is quiet and orderly, with military presence and restricted access to inner premises.

Fatehgarh Fort was constructed in 1714 by Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash, the founder of the Farrukhabad state. It served as a fortified stronghold on the Ganges. In the early 19th century it became a British military station and cantonment after 1802. The fort and cantonment have since remained an important military establishment and continue to house units of the Indian Army.
