Najibuddaula Fort

Najibuddaula Fort is a historic 18th-century fort located in the town of Najibabad in Bijnor District, Uttar Pradesh. Built by Rohilla chief Nawab Najib-ud-Daula who founded the town, the fort is known for its massive brick and stone walls, bastions and gateway. Though now in a ruined and partially overgrown state, it remains a notable heritage landmark reflecting the architecture and town-planning of the Rohilla period.

Visitors can expect a large, ruined fort complex with high outer walls, bastions and remnants of gateways and internal structures. The fort is situated within Najibabad town and is surrounded by residential areas. Much of the structure is weathered and overgrown, with open grounds inside. There is no formal museum or maintained interior; the visit is primarily for sightseeing, photography and observing historic masonry and layout.

The fort was built in the mid-18th century, around the 1750s, by Nawab Najib-ud-Daula, a Rohilla chief and founder of Najibabad. He established the town as a fortified settlement and made it his capital. The fort served as his residence and administrative centre and is an example of 18th-century Rohilla military architecture using brick and stone construction with bastions and fortified walls.

The fort is a cultural landmark for Najibabad and the Bijnor region, representing the town's origin and Rohilla heritage. It is locally associated with the history of Najibabad and remains a recognized heritage structure visited for its historical and architectural interest.
