Gurdwara Lohgarh Sahib marks the site of Lohgarh Fort, one of five forts (Qila Anandgarh, Lohgarh, Holgarh, Fatehgarh and Taragarh) constructed by Guru Gobind Singh Ji in the late 17th century to defend Anandpur Sahib. The fort served as a defensive outpost and workshop for arms manufacturing during the period of conflicts with Mughal and hill chief forces. The present gurdwara commemorates the Guru's stay and activities at this location.

The gurdwara is a revered Sikh pilgrimage site and part of the sacred heritage of Anandpur Sahib, the birthplace of the Khalsa. It holds religious importance for Sikhs as one of the historic forts associated with Guru Gobind Singh Ji and is visited during pilgrimages to Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib and other Anandpur Sahib gurdwaras, especially during Hola Mohalla and Baisakhi gatherings.
