Jakar Dzong in Bhutan<\/strong> is the principle Dzong or a Tibetan\/ Bhutanese styled fortress that overlooks the Jakar town in the Bumthang District. Located on a ridge above the Chamkhar Valley, the present fortress is built on the location of an earlier temple made by Ralung Hierarch Yongzin Ngagi Wangchuk on coming to Bhutan. This fort was built in 1667 to honor the victory of Tibetan Ruler Phuntsho Namgyal.<\/p>\n

A special feature of Jakar Dzong was the 50-meter high utse. One more unique thing about the Dzong is its unique passageway sheltered by two parallel walls which were interconnected by fortified towers, this provided the population with access to food, security, and water during a siege. Although destroyed in 1897 due to an earthquake, the reconstructed fort was built smaller than the original one according to sitemaps.<\/p>\n
