Built in 1513, this is the oldest temple in
Luang Prabang. Originally built with wood the temple was remade with brick and
stucco after it was set fire to by Black Haw riders in 1887. The sloping-style
of the roof is a distinctive feature due to the fact that it is a not a common
Laotian design trait. Inside the building is a stupa that was commissioned in
1503, complete with small Buddha images made from precious materials and sacred
objects, many of which were stolen when the Haw invaded the temple.
