The Palace is also the headquarters of the [[Order of the Blue Macaw]]
The Palace was first built as the Caste of Putangitangi in 995 by [[Ahua the Great]]. The Castle was named after the adjoining lake called Lake Putangitangi which was in turn named after the [[Oan language|Oan]] word for a cormorant.
==Location and access==
