Situated {{convert|30|km}} from Sikar, it was built by Rao Raja Lakshman Singh of [[Sikar]] in 1805, who also founded a village in his own name as Laxmangarh in 1805.<ref>http://ccbsikar.com/About%20Sikar.htm</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://laxmangarh.in/history.html/ |title=History |access-date=6 January 2022 |archive-date=8 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220208082711/http://laxmangarh.in/history.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/R2FF%2BGXV+Laxmangarh+Fort,+Laxmangarh,+Rajasthan+332311/@27.8238565,75.0249304,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x396cab18124e488d:0x5d6eac8b8a136f84 | title=Laxmangarh Fort · R2FF+GXV, Laxmangarh, Rajasthan 332311, India }}</ref><br />

The most imposing building in this [[Laxmangarh]] town is its small fortress (owned by the Jhunjhunwala Family) which looms over the well laid out township on its west side. Laxman Singh, the Raja of Sikar, built the fort in the early 19th century after Kan Singh Saledhi besieged the prosperous town. The fort of Laxmangarh is a unique piece of fort [[architecture]] in the whole world because the structure is built upon scattered pieces of huge rocks. The nearest thikana is Hameerpura and thakur sahab of Hameerpura was Late Thakur Pal Singh Shekhawat .<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://laxmangarh.in/history.html/ |title=History |access-date=6 January 2022 |archive-date=8 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220208082711/http://laxmangarh.in/history.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
