Shweinbin Monastery (Burmese: ရွှေအင်ပင်ကျောင်း) is a Buddhist monastery in Mandalay, Burma, built in the tradition of Burmese teak architecture.[1] The monastery was built in 1895 by a Sino-Burmese merchant married to a Burmese woman of royal extraction. The monastery's construction strictly adheres to traditional rules of Burmese monastic architecture and includes all of the designated pyatthat-crowned pavilions.[2][3][4]
