'''[[Sabalgarh Fort]] :''' The fort is noteworthy among medieval age monuments. A ‘Bandh’ was built in the [[Scindia]] period behind the fort. The fort was constructed on a cliff by Gopal Singh, the Raja of Karoli. Sikandar Lodhi sent an army to control this fort. The Marathas, in their campaign through northern India, retook the fort and returned control to the Raja of Karoli. In 1795 A.D., it was again taken from the Raja by Khande Rao, whose house stands there. Lord Vallejali Daulat Rao Scindia (1764–1837) lived in this fort during his regime. The fort was seized by the English in 1804. The area surrounding the fort was added to the kingdom of Scindia in 1809.<ref>{{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCBfAmJzfrI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/fCBfAmJzfrI |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=History of Sabalgarh|date=5 September 2015|publisher=|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
