Yadanabonmyint Monastery (Burmese: ရတနာဘုံမြင့်ကျောင်း), also known as the Queen Seindon Monastery (Burmese: စိန်တုံးမိဖုရားကျောင်း), is a historic Buddhist monastery in Mawlamyine, Mon State, Myanmar.[1] The monastery was constructed under the guidance of Seindon Mibaya, a fourth ranking queen of King Mindon Min and architects from Mandalay.[2] The entire construction was funded by a wealthy lady called Daw Shwe Pwint. The monastery is known for its royal craftsmanship and motifs, and was formally consecrated in 1886 when it was donated to the Rama Sayadaw.[3]
