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 and current Thakur sahab is his son Thakur Sharwan Singh Shekhawat .[2]
