The old lhakhang is a one-storied structure constructed by lam Ngawang as a residence but the year of construction is not known however, according to Monlam Wangchuk (2022), it is said to be more than 100 years old. Currently, it houses mani-dungkhor after the main choesham was shifted to the newly constructed lhakhang. The new two-storied lhakhang was constructed in 1995 through community funding under the coordination of ex-tshozin Phurpa Tshering. In 2009, the lhakhang was damaged by an earthquake and is in dire need of renovation.
