Also recorded as Wat Kampeng, located behind the monastery’s pagoda is an ancient square brick temple on a raised laterite base tightly surrounded by funerary stupas. The brick temple opens to the east with a short forebody with a sandstone doorframe where remnants of round brick columns are seen flanking the doorway which also has remnants of a decorated lintel above the door, formed in the brickwork. The sandstone doorframe carries an inscription left by a French institution, dated July 1922.
On the interior of the forebody, each side has a mortise, and also unusual, the doorway to the central temple narrows substantially before entering the central chamber. Inside today, a colorful Buddha statue, and in the north wall, a water spout that can be seen exiting the temple.
Around the sides, unusually tall false doors due to being without lintel or pediment with a tall false floor tapering in size while repeating the theme of the design. On the very top, spires can be seen. Remnants of rendering can also be seen.
