Samdrubtse Dzong was probably built in the 15th century. It looked like a smaller version of the Potala. It had turret-like fortifications at the ends and a central Red Palace. It used to be the seat of the kings of Ü-Tsang and the capital of the province of Ü-Tsang.

The castle was dismantled by hundreds of Tibetans at the instigation of the Chinese in 1961. Between 2005 and 2007, it was reconstructed in concrete, and faced with stone.
