The exact date of construction of the structure is not known however according to the locals, the structure was used during by Paro Penlop Tshering Penjor (uncle to 2nd King). It was used as the office for tax collections, solving disputes and performing other important activities. One of the important responsibilities performed was during the Paro Tshechu (annual festival which takes place for five days). The first and last days of the festival are conducted in Dzongdrakha Goenpa (monastery) which falls under the Lunyi gewog and the Paro Penlop presided the occasion. This custom is still practiced till date and Gup (local leader) of Lunyi gewog now shoulders the responsibility of this custom.
