'''Kenilworth Fort''' or '''Kenilworth Castle'''<ref name="tribune">{{cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060430/spectrum/main3.htm |title=The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum |publisher=Tribuneindia.com |date= |accessdate=2012-07-05}}</ref> is situated in [[Hosur]] in the present day [[Krishnagiri district]] in the state of [[Tamil Nadu]] in [[India]]. Its architecture is based on that of [[Kenilworth Castle]] in [[England]], making it probably the only fort in India built to resemble an English castle.<ref name="tribune"/> Mr. Brett, the collector of Salem between 1859 and 1862, built this at his wife's request to be their residence, hence it is also sometimes called Brett's Fort. It was purchased by the government in 1875.<ref name=Harshitha>{{cite web|last1=Harshitha|first1=Samyuktha|title=The Taj of the South-Brett's folly|url=http://samharshbangalore.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/the-taj-of-south-bretts-folly.html|website=Samyuktha Harshitha|accessdate=26 January 2015}}</ref><br />
