Wangdue Dzong, Wangduephodrang, Wangdue , Bhutan - Travel Information, History, Story and Images

Description:
Wangduephodrang Dzong, following the contours of the hill this dramatic structure was the secondary capital of Bhutan. This ‘palace gathering all within its power'' - its name is derived from being built on a rocky spur where ravens fly off in all four directions (at the crossroads). The wooden shingled monastic fortress enabled the central and eastern regions to be brought into the fold of the new Bhutanese state between 1647 and 1655. With three courtyards of varying shapes and sizes at the southern end of this rustic structure is the monk’s assembly hall which houses 3 statues of Buddha; the past, present and future.
