Night images of Trashicho Dzong, known as “The Fortress of the Glorious Religion”, situated on the banks of the Wangchu (Thimphu River).
Tashicho Dzong was built in 1641, but in 1869 the Dzong caught fire and was extensively repaired. The late king Jigme Dorje Wangchuck had the Dzong rebuilt from 1962 to 1969 and made the building into the new centre of government when the capital was moved from Punakha to Thimphu.
Taschichho Dzong also serves as the home of the Central Monastic Body, who reside here during the summer months.
