WAT PHRA THAT LAMPANG LUANG

This temple is one of the most important in the country.

Viharn Luang. Building visible from the entrance, in front of you. Built around the middle of the 15th century, it is characterized by a roof with several interlocking sections. The precious wood frame, supported by gigantic teak pillars, is strikingly beautiful. The temple houses various representations of Buddha dating from the 16th century.
Viharn Ton Kheo is on the right. Built at the same time as the previous one, its architecture is completely identical; only the size, much less imposing, differs.
Viharn Nam Taem is right behind. Dating from the early 16th century, it houses remains dating from the construction of the building.
The chedi is the most important sacred building, located in the heart of the temple. It was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century, after being almost completely razed to the ground by the Burmese. It contains relics highly revered by the Thais and having belonged to Buddhist dignitaries.
Viharn Phra Phut, the oldest building according to historians, would date from the 13th century. Its Chiang Sen style architecture (11th to 13th century) seems to prove them right.
The Heo Phra Phut Tabat building is the smallest of the temple. It is strictly forbidden to women. A ban that must not be transgressed, under penalty of serious consequences. Inside is a replica of a Buddha's foot print.
The last two buildings are the Viharn Phra Jao Sila and the bot.
