Dating back to the 9th century, Lumbung Temple rises quietly from the green fields of Central Java, a compact Buddhist sanctuary often overshadowed by the dramatic silhouette of the Hindu towers within the nearby Prambanan Temple complex. Built from dark volcanic andesite, its weathered shrines have endured centuries of monsoonal rain, seismic unrest and drifting ash from Mount Merapi, its origins all but erased by the scars of time.
