History:
Fort Jadhavgadh's history dates back to 1710, built during the reign of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, grandson of Shivaji Maharaj. It was constructed by Pilaji Jadhavrao, a trusted general in the Maratha army, as a strategic outpost and residence. The fort witnessed several battles and served as a crucial defense point. Over the centuries, it fell into disrepair until it was painstakingly restored and transformed into a heritage hotel. The restoration efforts focused on preserving the original structure and character of the fort, ensuring that visitors can experience its rich historical significance. Today, Fort Jadhavgadh stands as a testament to Maratha valor and architectural brilliance, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.
