Kinwun Mingyi Monastery (Burmese: ကင်းဝန်မင်းကြီးကျောင်း), also known as the Thakawun Monastery,[1] is a historic Buddhist monastery in Maha Aungmye Township, Mandalay, Burma.[2] The wooden monastery dates to 1879, built by the Kinwun Mingyi U Kaung.[2]
Built completely out of teak, the monastery includes Western motifs including Corinthian pillars, friezes and arches inspired by the Kinwun Mingyi's embassy mission to Europe.[3] The monastery design features a terrace surrounded by a rotunda.[4] The monastery was designed by European architects, namely M. Comodo, an Italian, and M. Bonvallein, a Frenchman.[4]
