Kanō Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kanō Castle (加納城, Kanō-jō) was a hirajirō-style Japanese castle located in the city of Gifu, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It was one of the few castles built after the Battle of Sekigahara and establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate and was used as an administrative center of Kanō Domain under the end of the Edo period, but only its ruins, including the base of the tenshu and stone walls, remain today.[1] The ruins were designated National Historic Site in 1983.[2]
