Initially, the Belogradchik Fortress served for surveillance and not strictly defense. Bulgarian tsar of Vidin, Ivan Stratsimir, extended the old fortress in the 14th century and it became one of the most important strongholds in the region.

During the Ottoman conquest of Bulgaria, the fortress was captured by the Ottomans in 1396.
