Suemori Castle
🇯🇵 Japan · 16th century
Suemori Castle (末森城, Suemori-jō) is a former Japanese castle located in Nagoya.
It was originally outside the city of Nagoya in the countryside of the Owari Province.
Lord Oda Nobuhide (1508-1549) built this castle in 1548. The following year, his third son Oda Nobuyuki (d. 1557) became the castle's lord, but was defeated at the Battle of Inogahara, where he fought against his older brother Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582). It is assumed that the castle was subsequently abandoned in 1559 and fell into ruins. A stone stelae marks the site of the castle.
