San Phra Khran was constructed in the early Ayutthaya period for the use of Brahmin priests, who played an essential role in religious and political ceremonies. The Brahmins also participated in making judicial decisions and setting methods for punishments.
In 1636 CE, King Prasat Thong (reign 1629-1656 CE) relocated the Brahmin priests to the area around Thewa Sathan (Chikun Road). The king gave them 100 cows and 100 horses as alms, which they returned to the monarch because they lacked the slaves to care for them.
The Fine Arts Department partially restored this building in 1969 CE. Excavations revealed various artifacts such as images of Hindi deities. In modern times, this site is covered with dozens of elaborately decorated silver poles and hundreds of broken religious figurines.
