Mongar Dzong

Landmark in Bhutan

Last Updated On : 21/03/2022

Unlike most dzongs that are located on hilltops, Mongar Dzong is located on a small slope just above the town. Mongar Dzong was built in 1930 to replace the original Zhongar Dzong which was damaged by fire. Beautiful murals and paintings of Buddha’s teachings adorn the walls and ceilings of the dzong. Although built rather recently, the dzong has all the aspects of the traditional architecture and houses both the administrative and monastic body of the Mongar district.
