\\Punakha-Dzong [{GoogleMap location='Punakha Dzong, Punakha, Bhutan' zoom='9'}], or Punthang Dechen Phodrang, was built in 1637. Three centuries earlier, in 1328, a temple, called Dzongchung ("small Dzong") was built at the site by the saint Ngagi Rinchen. Dzongchung is still standing opposite Punakha-Dzong.
