This Buddhist Temple complex has one main temple surrounded by 16 small temples (Perwara Temples), was built around 9th century during the period of ancient Mataram Kingdom.
Lumbung Temple, despite of its smaller size than nearby Sewu Temple, but they both have so much similarities, based from their structures, as buildings for holding religious or spiritual rituals, such as prayer and give an offering.
