The temple was built in 1634 by I Gusti Agung Anom, the king of Mengwi, he was powerful enough to control large parts of Badung, Tabanan and Gianyar from the first part of the 17th Century to the latter part of the 19th Century.
This temple is one of the magnificent looking temples in Bali and a strong candidate to be one of The World Heritage.
