It is regarded as the third class of the royal temple, that was built during King [[Nangklao]] (Rama III)'s reign in 1848. The chief commander, [[Chao Phraya Bodindecha]], was a devout follower of Buddhism. After coming back with the victory from the war with [[Khmer people|Khmer]] and [[Annamese people|Annamese]], he donated his house to build this temple. He named this temple Wat Chai Chana Songkhram, which means literally "war victory temple".
This temple is also known informally as [[Wat Tuek Intersection|Wat Tuek]] (วัดตึก), which means literally "building temple". Because it is strange from other temples at the same time, it was built with concrete and full of buildings and structures, such as [[ubosot|main hall]], [[stūpa]]s, [[Sala Kan Parian|sermon hall]], monk's dwellings etc.
The principal Buddha image named "Singhamunin Thammabodin Lokanartthewanorachat Apiphuchani" (สิงหมุนินทร์ ธรรมบดินทร์ โลกนาถเทวนรชาติ อภิปูชนีย์).
