The windows are arched windows. On the church wall in front of the principal Buddha image are stained glass artefacts of King Rama V. On the right side of the ordination hall is a hall enshrining Phra Khanthararat, which is a standing Buddha image in the rain-asking posture.

Unique beauty in Thailand... Wat Niwet Thammaprawat 🕍 Wat Niwet Thammaprawat is an old Thai temple during the reign of King Rama V, built in the European architecture style, the only one in Thailand. It looks like a Christian church in the Gothic style. It is located near Bang Pa-In Palace, Bang Pa-In District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.       Because King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) expanded and built Bang Pa-In Palace, which later ordered the expansion of the palace wall to be wider than the original, completed in 1876 and had faith in establishing Wat Niwet Thammaprawat in the same year to be a temple for the palace as a place for him to perform royal merit when he came to stay in Bang Pa-In Palace. In building this temple, he donated money to the officials who hired Western craftsmen to map and design the chapel and the group of monks' quarters to have the appearance of temples in Western countries. This was because he intended to worship Buddhism with strange things and for all the people to see and play with as strange things. Because it is not yet found in other monasteries. It does not mean that people are happy and believe in other religions, except for Buddhism. The architectural style used in the construction of the temple is Gothic art, which is a medieval art of Europe. The entire ordination hall, walls, arches, bell towers, sala, monks' quarters, and every building are made of brick and mortar in the style of western countries. However, the interior is beautiful and peaceful in the style of a Buddhist temple. The construction was completed in 1878 and His Majesty named it "Wat Niwet Thammaprawat" and a grand celebration was held. Wat Niwet Thammaprawat flourished throughout the reign of King Rama V. When it came to the reign of King Rama VII, the earthen dams on both sides of the Chao Phraya River of the temple began to collapse. Her Majesty Queen Savang Vadhana (Her Majesty the Queen Mother) ordered the construction of a new concrete dam in 1928. As for the monks' quarters, sala, and other sacred places The dilapidated temple was renovated and more permanent structures were built during the current reign. Since Wat Niwet Thammaprawat is located on an island, the only way to get there is to take a cable car. The cable car can accommodate about 6-8 people and takes about a minute to get there. #VisitHistoricalSite

#1月好去地方2025 I did some research before the trip and saw this attraction. After visiting the Summer Palace, I mentioned it to the chartered car driver, who took us to the parking lot to take the free river cable car. After getting off the cable car, walk along the river bank. On the right is the river, and on the other side is a whole row of European-style buildings, which actually all belong to this temple. This temple is also called Anna Church. Legend has it that it is used for prayers for the king and my tutor. However, according to Wikipedia, the architect of the temple was an Italian architect appointed by King Rama V. The Gothic-style building is dedicated to the Buddha, which should have been intentional, symbolizing the starting point of Thailand's westernization. If the Summer Palace is included in your itinerary to Ayutthaya, it is highly recommended that you visit it as well. Firstly, the whole journey is free, and secondly, it only takes about 20 minutes to visit this special attraction.
