Shwenandaw Monastery, also known as the Golden Palace Monastery, is a historic Buddhist monastery located in Mandalay, Myanmar. Renowned for its intricate teak carvings and rich architectural details, the monastery was originally part of the royal palace complex of King Mindon. After his death, his son King Thibaw Min dismantled the structure and reassembled it as a monastery in 1880. The impressive woodwork depicts Buddhist myths and Jataka tales, making it a significant example of traditional Burmese craftsmanship.
