Dzongs of Bhutan - Fortresses of Bhutan

Dzongs (Fortresses) are Bhutanese architectural masterpieces built in the past to serve a number of purposes. Almost every districts in Bhutan has one or more than one dzongs. They served as administrative centers and as houses for the clergy. They were also used as garrisons by the army and people gathered in the dzong courtyards during festivals.

Dzongs in Bhutan are generally classified in three categories: Pre - Zhabdrung Dzongs, Zhabdrung - Era Dzongs and Post - Zhabdrung Dzong. However, the dzongs built during the time of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal starting from the Simtokha Dzong in 1629 are most important in the Bhutanese History.
