Visapur Fort History

Visapur Fort was established between 1713 - 1720 CE by Balaji Vishwanath, the first Peshwa of the Maratha Empire. It was built following the construction of Lohagad Fort, with the histories of the two forts intertwined. In 1818, the British East India Company made strategic efforts to capture Lohagad, a stronghold where the famed treasury of the Maratha Kingdom was kept. This led to the overwhelming of Visapur Fort by British forces on March 4, 1818.

Utilizing its elevated position and proximity to Lohagad, the British stationed cannons on Visapur to bombard Lohagad, compelling the Marathas to retreat. Despite its significance, Visapur Fort underwent substantial destruction under British control. The Deccan and North Konkan gateways were demolished, and many principal buildings were razed.

In contrast, Lohagad Fort, with its well-preserved Maratha architecture, remains largely intact, boasting intricately carved gates that stand as a testament to the region's rich history and craftsmanship.
