Me Nu Oak-Kyaung, which in English is usually referred to as Maha Aungmye Bonzan or Bon San Monastery, i.e. a brick monastery along the Irrawaddy River (fig.) in Inwa (fig.).

It was built in 1822 AD by Nan Madaw Me Nu, a Queen of the Konbaung Dynasty. The building was damaged in an earthquake in 1838, yet was repaired in 1873 by Sinphyumashin, the daughter of Queen Me Nu and herself a Queen of King Mindon Min (fig.). Buddhist monasteries were usually built from wood and therefore got easily destroyed by fire.

This masonry structure, however, was planned for a longer life with an architecture that only simulates the design of wooden monasteries.
