Description

This temple is situated behind Wat Chom Chuen and is another group of historic buildings which became in existence since the pre-Sukhothai times. The important historic structure here includes a main shrine with ancient Khmer architectural style. This shrine was built from laterite blocks. Besides, archaeological excavations conducted here had unearthed deposits containing some brick fragments and characteristic artifacts of Dvaravati period, dated around the 6th - 10th century AD. This evidence suggests that some brick buildings might have been erected in this area before the laterite shrine of Khmer style made its appearance and replaced them.
