Trongsa Dzong is an impressive fortress located in central Bhutan. It holds great historical and architectural significance in the country. The dzong was constructed in the 17th century and stands majestically on a ridge overlooking the Mangde Chhu River. The Trongsa Dzong is renowned as the ancestral home of the royal family of Bhutan. It served as the seat of power for several generations of the Wangchuck dynasty before they became the kings of Bhutan. Architecturally, Trongsa Dzong is an impressive structure with multiple levels and courtyards. It follows the traditional Bhutanese architectural style, characterized by thick walls, fortified towers, and intricately designed woodwork. The dzong houses various administrative offices, monastic quarters, temples, and chapels. The most sacred and significant temple within the dzong is the Chorten Lhakhang, which enshrines the remains of the great Drukpa saint, Pema Lingpa. Trongsa Dzong also serves as a strategic landmark due to its location on the ancient trade route between eastern and western Bhutan – Trongsa Dzong, Trongsa, Bhutan
