Main
keep: A structure built as part of the castle or on its site to fend off
enemies
Azuchi Castle was built in 1576 by Nobunaga Oda and had the first full-scale
main keep in Japan. The castle was later destroyed in a fire and only
the stone foundation walls remain (designated a special historic monument).
Close to the ruins is the House of Nobunaga, the Chief Lord of Azuchi
Castle, an exact full-scale replica of the fifth and sixth stories of
the castle's main keep. Other materials can be found at the Museum of
the Azuchi Castle Quarter and the Shiga Prefectural Museum of Azuchi-Castle,
Archaeology.
