This Atumashi Kyaung (unrivalled Monastery), traditional Myanmar Monastic construction-a masonry base topped by a wooden building was built in 1857 by King Mindon. It was caught fire in 1890. The reconstruction project was started by the government on 2 May, 1995 and completed in June, 1996. Although it is now only a pale shadow of its original form, the ruined building is still impressive.
