Close to Wat That Luang, this temple is said to have been founded in 1375 by Samsenthai, the son of Fa Ngum, southwest of the city centre. All that remains of the original sanctuary is the one-armed Buddha, a large bronze statue that must have been about 6 m high and 12 tons in weight, without a base. This statue dates from about 1378. It is probably the oldest statue of Buddha in Laos. It was an important temple, and in fact it housed the Prabang, the emblem of the city, from 1502 to 1513, before it was transported to Wat Wasunalat.
