Description: |
|
This palace-complex is also commonly known as King Narai
National Museum and was built in the late 17th century, when
King Narai the Great decided to make Lop Buri the second capital
of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Although French architects contributed
to the design of the buildings, the Khmer influence is still
visible. The palace is a perfect blend of both worlds, a unique
mixture of Khmer-European styles. After the death of King
Narai the Great in 1688, the palace was abandoned. It was not
until the reign of King Rama IV during the Rattanakosin era that
the palace was restored and renamed PhraNaraiRatchaniwet. Now,
there are several compounds with pavilions dating from both King
Narai and King Rama IV’s reigns. The complex is located in
the town center, between Ratchadamnoen Road and Pratu Chai Road.
To get there, go through PratuPhayakkha, which is currently a
town park, located off Sorasak Road. The palace-turned-museum
is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 8.30 am-4.30 pm. |
