Kiyosu Castle (清洲城, Kiyosu-jō) is a Japanese castle located in Kiyosu, western Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is noted for its association with the rise to power of the Sengoku period warlord Oda Nobunaga.[1] The kanji in the name of the castle was written as 清須城. The current partial reconstruction dates to 1989[1][2] and was built as a centennial celebration for the modern-day city of Kiyosu.
