English: Dzong architecture — found in the Buddhist kingdoms of the Himalayas, Bhutan and Tibet.

Dzongs are a distinctive type of fortress architecture, serving as the religious, military, administrative, and social centers of their district.
The Buddhist architecture style is massive — with towering exterior walls surrounding a complex of courtyards, temples, administrative offices, and monks' accommodation.
