Wat Woranat Ban Phot is located in the old quarter of the city. A chedi and viharn were first constructed here between 1359 and 1361 in the Sukhothai art style. Pot shards from the Sukhothai kilns have been recovered as well as well as pottery dating up to the late Ayutthaya period suggesting continued use of the temple for at least 400 years. However, following the sack of Ayutthaya, the temple fell into disuse. More than a century later a monk called Luang Pu Tong was invited to renovate the temple bringing it back into use for the community once more.
Wat Woranat Ban Phot was listed as an ancient monument in 1935.
