Short Description:

Overall goal


The Royal Government of Bhutan and the Austrian Development Cooperation have agreed to continue their collaboration in the field of cultural preservation. Following the Trongsa Dzong Renovation Project, which will be completed in early 2005, it is proposed to renovate the watchtower complex (Ta Dzong) of Trongsa and adapt the premises to house a "state of the art museum" with all necessary modern services. The Bhutanese side has already prepared a preliminary cost estimate for the structural renovation work and the RGoB has included this project in its ninth five-year plan.


Under the current project Austrian consultants are preparing the project document for the implementation of the project.
