This castle was built by Oda Nobunaga in 1575, where he lived and ruled until his death. It was intended to serve both as a castle and a luxurious mansion. After Nobunaga was betrayed by his general Akechi Mitsuhide, the castle was burned to the ground by Mitsuhide's forces. Today, the stone base of the castle remains in its original location, and a replica exists in a theme park in Ise, and a replica of the top floors is on display in a museum near the castle grounds.
