This ancient temple was apparently constructed by Phraya Surin Phakdi Si Narong Changwang (Chiang Pum) about 200 years ago in the Thonburi or early Rattanakosin periods. Luang Pho Chi, the Buddha statue in the posture of subduing mara, is enshrined in the wihan. This statue, probably completed during mara, is enshrined in the wihan. This statue, probably completed during the temple construction, is held most sacred by the local.

Inside the temple is the museum of the late Phra Rat Wutthachan (Luang Pu Dun Adulo), a highly venerated monk in meditation. He was a disciple of the renowned Phra A-chan Man Phurithatta, and once taught meditation to Phra A-chan Fan Acharo. His statue, remains, photo, and personal belongings are kept inside the museum.
