About
The square brick temple faces west and has andesite gate thresholds, and a stone over the gate gives the year 1293 Saka (1371 CE), in King Hayam Wuruk's reign. It was recorded by Dutch surveyors in 1906, restored in 1994–1996 and is still used for worship. Pair it with Candi Sumur a short walk to the southwest; the mudflow embankment is about 2 km away.
