The original palace was damaged but restored to as it appears today. The white buildings were built more than 300 years ago by the 5th Dalai Lama and the central, red building was built by the disciple of the 5th Dalai Lama. The palace is 13 stories and has over ten thousand pillars. Inside the palace are many religious symbols and antiques.
