篠山城：西国の抑えとして松平康重が入城し天下普請にて築城された篠山城【お城特集日本の歴史】

[Castle name]
Sasayama Castle
Yasuige Matsudaira’s castle that was built to bolster infrastructure and protect Saigoku

[Description]
Sasayama Castle does not have a deep history like others; it was built after battle of Sekigahara and battle of Osaka – summer ended. Iesasu Tokugawa moved Yasuige Matsudaira from Hitachi Kasama Castle to Tanba Yakami Castle to protect Saigoku, and ordered him to build a new castle in Sasayama basin.

With Takatora Todo’s design, more than 20 clans were given direct orders from the central government and successfully completed construction in six months.

This area was ruled by Matsui-Matsudaira clan, Fujii-Matsudaira clan, Katanohara-Matsudaira clan, and Aoyama clan till the Meiji Restoration. Since it was relatively new castle, it was demolished after Meiji era without any major battles.
