The City Pillar Shrine of Saraburi is one of the province’s most revered spiritual landmarks, serving as a symbol of stability, prosperity, and unity among its people. It was first constructed in 1884 (B.E. 2427) during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and was later renovated and relocated to its present site near the old Provincial Hall (now the Mueang District Office).

The shrine is designed in traditional Thai architectural style — a four-gabled pavilion (Chaturamuk) with a spired roof adorned with intricate golden ornaments and mirror inlays. Inside, visitors will find several sacred objects:

• Two City Pillars:

  • The Old Pillar: Preserved under glass as a historical relic.

  • The New Pillar: Crafted from auspicious Chaiyapruek wood, featuring a finely carved lotus-bud top, symbolizing purity, stability, and growth.

• Guardian Deities of the City:

  • Phra Suea Mueang: The protector deity safeguarding the city from harm and danger.

  • Phra Song Mueang: The deity who maintains peace, order, and prosperity for the people.

  • Phra Kalchai Si: A divine attendant of Yama, responsible for guiding lost souls to the afterlife.

Locals and visitors alike come to pay their respects and make offerings for good fortune, stability in life, and success in their endeavors.

• By Private Car: The shrine is located in the heart of Saraburi City, within the old Provincial Hall compound (now the Mueang District Office), along Phichai Ronnarong Songkhram Road. Parking is available nearby.

• By Public Transport: Visitors can easily reach the shrine by local taxi, songthaew, or motorcycle taxi within Saraburi city.

• Paying homage to the City Pillar Shrine is believed to bring stability, success, and confidence to one’s life.
