Wat Chumphon Nikayaram Worawihan

Wat Chumphon Nikayaram Worawihan, Ban Len, Bang Pa-in District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, Thailand
Also spelled Wat Chumpolnigayaram Rajworawihara or Wat Chumphon Ni Ka Ya Ram Ratchaworawihan
วัดชุมพลนิกายาราม ราชวรวิหาร บ้านเลน อำเภอบางปะอิน จังหวัดพระนครศรีอยุธยา ประเทศไทย

Wat Chumphon Nikayaram Worawihan, วัดชุมพลนิกายาราม ราชวรวิหาร, was built in 1632 (B.E. 2175) by King Prasat Thong (reigned 1629-1656 (B.E. 2172-2199)) at Bang Pa-In, which was the King’s birthplace. The monastery was presumably built on the site of Prasat Thong’s real mother’s residence. Wat Chumphon Nikayaram was first restored by King Narai the Great (1656-1688 (B.E. 2199-2231)), a son of King Prasat Thong. Then during the reign of King Mongkut it was completely restored by royal command and murals were painted inside. King Chulalongkorn had it restored one more time.
