Trongsa Dzong, also known as Chhoekhor Raptentse Dzong – Choetse Dzong in short – is one of the largest and most spectacular dzongs strategically placed in the middle of the nation connecting the West with the East of Bhutan. First established in 1543, the fortress is renowned for its intricate construction. Located overlooking Mangdechhu River, Trongsa Dzong was once the seat of power for the Wangchuck dynasty before official monarchy. Trongsa Dzong is a prime example of traditional Bhutanese architecture. It has a maze of corridors and many temples within the structure.
