Description

There are three main structures at Wat Langkha Dam. In front is a small sermon hall. The entrance is on the eastern side and there are a few small windows for ventilation. Behind this sermon hall is a bell-shaped chedi from the middle Ayutthaya period. It has an octagonal base with several layers leading to its relic chamber. A second chedi can be found on the northwestern side of the sermon hall. Its architectural style dates to the late Ayutthaya period. Although this chedi has significantly eroded, there are hints of a Khmer influence. Wat Langkha Dam was named after the black tiles on its roof. Given the similarity in names, this monastery probably had some connection with Wat Langhka Kao. A small moat separated the two temples, and the same road passed before both monasteries.
