Kandarawadi Palace , also known as the Kandarawadi Haw ( Burmese : ???????????????? ), is the former residence of the local ruler of Kandarawadi , a small principality in modern-day Myanmar (Burma). It is the last remaining palace in Kayah State to survive World War II. ^[1]

History [ edit ]

Kandarawadi Palace was built between 1912 and 1916 by Sao Khun Li. ^{[1] [2]} The palace was built in a mixture of British, Indian, and Burmese architectural styles. ^[1]

During World War II , the palace was relatively unscathed, unlike other palaces in the region. ^[2]

The last chieftain to occupy the palace was Sao Lawi. ^[1] After his death in 1987, his children, Sao Lapor and Sao Kemawadi inherited the palace. ^[1] They donated the palace in 1994 in order to establish a monastic school , which is now called Thiri Mingalabon Monastery (?????????????? ???????), locally known as the "Hawgyi Monastery." ^{[2] [1] [3]}
