Wat Puen

Wat Peun is located in the northwestern area of the ancient town of Lopburi. A map of 1687 confirms that the area is a temple. The structure at Wat Peun consists of a square-based stupa and a rectangular viharn (chapel or preaching hall) which was influenced by western-style architecture with small niches in the inner wall. The temple was first built in the 15th century and remained in use until the 17th century. After several attempts at repair it finally collapsed and was abandoned.
