History
The exact date of the castle's foundation is unknown but built in the Muromachi period. In 1543, Uesugi Kenshin left Kasugayama Castle and entered the castle as a joint commander by Nagao Harukage`s order.[3]
In 1544, Kenshin made his first battle against local lords opposed to Nagao clan in the castle and broke the siege.[4]
In 1548, Kenshin returned to Kasugayama Castle as a feudal load of the Nagao clan.[5] The castle is now only ruins, with some earthenwalls, well and moats.[3]
gollark: FUN FACT: Do not open an SQLite database connection, then fork(), then try to use that database connection in the child process. All kinds of locking problems will result and you can easily end up with a corrupt database. SQLite is not designed to support that kind of behavior. Any database connection that is used in a child process must be opened in the child process, not inherited from the parent.
