The Shwe Yan Pyay Monastery was built at the end of the 19th century. The main building is made entirely of teak and stands out for its oval windows. It is used, among other things, for teaching novices at school. The walls of the adjacent white painted stone building were originally painted and decorated with extensive glass mosaics, which are not well preserved. In about 1700 small niches there is a small plaster Buddha.

Such a wooden building requires constant care.
And to be at the top of pillars, I deduce that it is a place prone to flooding.
