Overview

The Paro Dzong is one of Bhutan's most impressive dzongs known for its classic Bhutanese architecture. Built in 1644, it was founded by Gyelchock and its full name is Rinpung Dzong, which means the fortress of the heap of jewels. Today, it houses both the monastic body and government offices, including the local courts. Perched on a steep hillside, the courtyard of the administrative section is 6m higher than the courtyard of the monastic portion. The central Tower (utse) inside the courtyard (dochey) is five storeys tall and was built to commemorate the time of the first governor (penlop) of Paro in 1649. The Eastern side of the central tower has a small lhakhang dedicated to Chuchizhey, an 11-headed manifestation of Chenresig. A Glance at the richly carved wood painted in gold, black and ochres implies how magnificent this Dzong is.
