Taktsé Castle

Taktsé Castle

Taktsé Castle (bo-tw|t=སྟག་རྩེ་|w=Stag-rtse) was a castle located in the Chingwa (wylie|w=Phying-ba) district of Chonggyä (wylie|w=’Phyongs-rgyas) in central Tibet. According to legend, it was home to the kings of Tibet before Songtsen Gampo (604650) moved his capital to Lhasa. It would later become the birthplace of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama (16171682), whose aristocratic family had made their home there.
