{{glavni|Arhitektura Butana}}

Butanska arhitektura ostaja izrazito tradicionalna, saj uporablja metode gradnje iz zbite zemlje in protja, kamnitih zidakov in zapletene obdelave lesa okrog oken in streh. Tradicionalna arhitektura ne uporablja žebljev ali železnih palic v gradbeništvu. <ref>{{cite book |title = Earth Architecture |first = Ronald |last = Rael |publisher = Princeton Architectural Press |year = 2008 |isbn = 978-1-56898-767-5 |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=BsLAeifqe4EC |page = 92 |access-date = 18 October 2015 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160112111434/https://books.google.com/books?id=BsLAeifqe4EC |archive-date = 12 January 2016 |dead-url = no |df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref name=bbc98>{{cite news |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/country_profile/54627.stm |title = Country profile – Bhutan: a land frozen in time |date = 9 February 1998 |publisher = BBC News |accessdate = 1 October 2010 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20101111083203/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/country_profile/54627.stm |archivedate = 11 November 2010 |deadurl = no }}</ref> Za regijo je značilna vrsta grajske utrdbe, znane kot ''dzong''.
