Photo: “Bagaya Kyaung Teak Monastery” (Established in 1593) — Taken in Inwa, Myanmar, in September 2005 by P.E.I. native Bradford Duplisea. The original monastery was destroyed in a devastating fire in 1821, and the magnificent teak monastery we see today was rebuilt in 1834 during the reign of King Bagyidaw. Constructed almost entirely of teak, it is one of the finest surviving examples of traditional Konbaung-period wooden architecture in Myanmar. Today, the site remains a living, working monastery and continues to serve as both an active religious centre and a monastic school for young local novices.
UPDATE — I am sad to report that the monastery was completely destroyed in the devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake of March 28, 2025. Its destruction was confirmed through remote heritage analysis associated with the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative. Approximately 75% of the historic structures within the Inwa Ancient Cultural Heritage Zone were damaged, including the complete collapse of 13 pagodas. This photograph now serves as a rare pre-destruction record of one of Myanmar’s defining monuments.
