Tsu Castle - Japanese Castles (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
| Link Tsu Castle was a flatland style Japanese Castle located in Tsu in Mie Prefecture. An earlier fort or minor castle was built on the site of Tsu Castle by Hosono Fujiatsu in 1558. Tsu Castle became a true castle after Oda Nobukane, younger brother of Oda Nobunaga, took control of the site in 1573. Today part of the original walls and moat of Tsu Castle remain, however other key parts of the castle have been built over including the site of the Ninomaru which now has the city hall on it and the site of the Yozoukan now has the NTT Building on it. There is one reconstructed three story turret, that doesn't accurately reflect the design of the turrets seen in Meji period photographs of Tsu Castle. |
