   Vat Xang Khong (Fomberteaux, E.F.E.O.1930)

This vat stands to the north of the Nam Khane, outside the city. From its style which is similar to that of Vat Xieng Lek, it can be inferred that Vat Xang Khong was built at the end of the XlXth century.

The viharn has remained intact since its establishment and is of the simple type with a single hail and porch.
