It is located on the edge of a hill between the Paro Valley and Dopshari Valley, across the bridge from Paro. The monastery was built in 1421, while some source claims in 1433, by an eminent Tibetan Lama named Thangthong Gyalpo, an iron bridge builder. He has built around eight Iron Bridge in Bhutan.
