Bhutan was threaten with numerous attack fromTibet in the mid-17th century and the temporal ruler at the time built the Paro Ta Dzong (watch tower) to protect the Paro Rimpung Dzong against these invaders. According to the history, the Dzong’s fourth floor was used as a prison cell in the past. An underground passage is said to have existed connecting the Dzong to the Pa Chu River. The secret tunnel was used to fetch water during times of war.
The structure is completely built of stones and wood, without the use of nails.
The National Museum is a major tourist attraction today.
Some of the highlight of the museum’s collection include an egg laid by a mule, a horse horn, original iron links used to build the Tamchog suspension bridge and stone axe (Namchag) which was used during warfare and hunting. This monolith dates back to the Stone Age(Dorji,2017)
