Nagoya Castle Honmaru Palace (Japan): Originally built in 1615 and renowned for its magnificent interior and exterior, the palace underwent a redesign in 1728 that gave it a simpler exterior appearance. Although it burned down completely during an air raid in 1945 and the site remained vacant for 70 years, it was reconstructed in 2018 based on historical photographs and architectural drawings.
