Review & FAQ:
Originally part of the king's living quarters in the royal palace complex in the former capital of Amarapura, the Shwenandaw Kyaung Temple holds more historical significance than any other building in Mandalay. Not only is it an excellent example of Burmese teak architecture during the 19th century, but it is also the final resting place of King Mindon, who died inside its walls in 1878. After the king's death, his son ordered the building to be dismantled, sent to Mandalay, and reconstructed as a monastery. The rest of the Royal Palace was burned during WWII, and the monastery is now the only surviving piece. Shwenandaw Kyaung Temple
