Wat Ku Ya Sudha (built 15th century)
Wat Ku Ya Sudha, built in the 15th century, has completely vanished except for the small brick gatehouse shown above. Known now as "Grandmother Sudha's Grotto", the surviving gatehouse is so splendidly decorated that it strongly suggests the attendent wat was substantial and finely constructed.
