Fort of Khimsar
The Fort of Khimsar has a lot of diversity in its architecture. Prince Karamasi originally built the fort. The fort was originally built as a protection of the village from foreign or neighboring invasions. The walls, turrets, and stables were built around 16th century AD only for the purpose of war. By the middle of the 18th century, the royal family moved into the fort when a new zenana or ladies' residence was added to the existing construction. The ladies residence has delicately carved windows in stone built in order to provide purdah or veil for the ladies in waiting. Thakur Onkar Singh, 17th direct descendant of Prince Karamsi, the current owner and chief added a regal wing in the 1940's for himself. Later the fort was converted into Heritage Hotel and ranks amongst the best Heritage Hotels of India.
