Ho Phra Keo History photo copyrighted by: Kazuo Lim Khee Boon Ho Phra Keo was reduced to rubble during the Siamese invasion of 1828 and remained in
that state until 1937, when Uparat Prince Phetsarath, impressed by the restoration work
undertaken by the French authorities at Wat Sisakhet (1927-1931) and Phra That Luang
(1930-1935), requested the colonial government to rebuild the monument.
On its veranda are some of the most exquisite examples of Buddhist sculptures in Laos.
