History

Wat Nuannoradit is ancient and was deserted for a long time. Some people believe that it was built in the era of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Its older name was Wat Makok Nai, paired with Wat Makok Nok. At the end of the reign of Chao khun Phra Ratchaphan, who was Chao Phraya Akkhamahasena ’s wife and the sister of Queen Amarindra, she repaired Wat Makok Nai, assigning responsibility to her son Chao Phraya Phra khlang.
Jao Phraya Phraklan repaired Wat Makok Nai after he finished repairing Wat Prayurawongsawat in 2379 of the Buddhist era. After that King Chulalongkorn changed its name to Wat Nuannoradit after Chao Khun Phraratchaphan.
The temple was repaired once by Chao Phraya Surawongwaiwat and Chao Phraya Passakorawong and again by Phra Sassananurak. After that, it was maintained continuously.
