The Buriram City Pillar Shrine was built in ancient Khmer style to enshrine two city pillars, different from other provinces that have only the one. It is believed that the front pillar was built when Mueang Pae was established in the Thonburi period and the one at the back was built when Mueang Pae was elevated to Buriram. The two pillars are sacred objects revered by Buriram people. Formerly the City Pillar Shrine was small and included a Chinese shrine under the same roof. In 2005 the Buriram Municipality renovated and built the new shrine, designed by the Fine Arts Department, in the style of a beautiful ancient Khmer temple modelled after Prasat Phanom Rung, the provinces' most famous historical site.
