Constructed in 1644 and located on the top of an imposing hill, this dzong creates an impressive sight for miles around.
The palace was built by the second king and was the birth place of the third. It's used by reigning monarchs when on official visits to Trongsa. The building is closed to the public and like many of the early palaces is unimposing, but from an architectural and historical point of view it is still worth viewing.
