Jabung

Indonesia

Jabung is a 14th-century Buddhist temple located in the Jabung Sisir village within the Paiton area of the Probolinggo district in East Java, Indonesia. Constructed from red brick, the structure measures 16.20 metres and dates back to the Majapahit era.

The temple is documented in historical texts as both Bajrajinaparamitapura in the Nagarakretagama and Sajabung in the Pararaton. According to these records, it served as a mortuary temple for Bhre Gundal, a member of the Majapahit royalty. It was also visited by King Hayam Wuruk during his royal tour across East Java in 1359 CE.
