Lhuentse Dzong, popularly known as Lhuendruptse gi Dzongchen or Lhuendrup Rinchentse is another well-known historic site. It was initially built on the site where Yongzin Ngagi Wangchuk was in 1552 as a Dzongchung-small dzong. Later on, Trongsa Penlop Minjur Tempa built the current Dzong. It has many sacred relics including the Tshepamay statue that was once kept in Kidlung Lhakhang. Annually the Dzongkhag Administration and Dratshang organize Tshempay Tshechu, where people get the blessing of longevity from the statue. Today it serves as the office for the district administrative and religious body and houses many sacred relics installed by Desi Tenzin Rabgay. The fortress sits atop a hill overlooking the majestic Kurichhu river and is the venue for the Lhuentse festival. The Dzong’s most sacred artifact is the bronze statue of Tshepamey, which was found in the fishing net of a local fisherman.

Another remarkable spot is Lekpagang gi Tshenden (cypress trees of Lekpagangpposite to Lhuntse Dzong, which amazingly releases smoke once every year before we celebrate Thrue Bab (Blessed Rainy Day). It is believed to be the oldest of all the cypress trees in Bhutan as its story can be traced back to the 8th century when Khikha Rathoed was exiled from Khenpajong to Bumthang.
