Kasthamandap Temple Kathmandu (Nepal)
The "Kasthamandap Temple" was the biggest and most visited
pagoda style temple in Kathmandu. This three-storey temple
was built in the 16th Century with wood from a single tree.
Amazing! "Kasthamandap" means literally "wood covered
shelter". Unfortunately it was completely destroyed by the April
25, 2015 earthquake that devastated Kathmandu and many
other areas of Nepal. Let's hope Nepalese authorities will
succeed in its reconstruction.
