Maha Aungmye Bonzan Kyaung in Inwa
Maha Aungmye Bonzan Kyaung was a royal monastery built in 1818. Although old enough, it is a new addition to Inwa during the Konbaung period. It was built by Nanmadaw Me Nu, the chief queen of King Bagyidaw. Against the Burmese tradition of building monasteries with wood, it is built with brick and stucco mimicking the wooden structure.
This monastery and neighbouring Htilaingshin Paya are located in the Inwa palace compound that is square-shaped and protected by the Ayeyarwadi and Myitnge rivers to the north and east, and by the moat to the south and west.
