The Mud Fort of the Jats of Kuchesar was built in the mid-18th century with seven turrets as a defense against British cannon attack, and a wide moat was dug to create the ramparts. Its main palace sits atop a large bastion overlooking gardens on three sides and the ruins of a replica of Robert Clive's Calcutta house to its west.
