Rinpung Dzong

Rinpung Dzong

Rinpung Dzong is a large monastery and fortress in Paro District in Bhutan. Scenes from the 1993 film Little Buddha were filmed in the area.

History

In 1645, the lords of Humrel offered their small fort to Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel (a Drukpa monk), thus recognizing its religious and political authority. This last began at once the construction of a fortress much more important and the dzong was devoted into 1646.
