According to oral history narrated by Khenpo Loday Jamtsho (2021), it is said that the presence of the main statue Nampar Nangzay evidently proves that the lhakhang was built during King Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century. Geney lhakhang was destroyed by fire during the time when Guru Rinpoche was residing at the sacred site of Brempa ney located above Nimalung dratshang. Later, Guru Rinpoche renovated the old structure and a new lhakhang was built just below the old one. Later, the dilapidated lhakhang was renovated under the direction of Lam Pema Tshewang’s brother Gyatsho. The site is looked after by Lam Pema Tshewang’s family and descendants. It was previously used by villagers for various religious purposes but later they could not afford to do the renovation so lama Pema and his brother Gyatsho renovated the lhakhang in the 20th century. Currently, it is taken care of by the descendants of lama Pema.
