a small stone structure in the from of Khmer style residence of a King or God with a corncob-shaped structure built by King Chulalongkorn.
the tree in the back is like Nagas ( พญานาค) protecting the shrine which King Phrasartthong of Ayuthaya golden sculpture situated.
on top of that, the Khmer style was chosen because the golden palace of Khmer was discovered during his time and the king direct translation is

Wat Nivet Thampravat

Wat Nivet Thampravat (วัดนิเวศธรรมประวัติ) is a Buddhist monastery built in western style of Gothic during the reign of King Rama V. Its western features could merge with the Buddhist function in a suitable proportion. The base; where the principal image of Buddha and his followers were placed, was designed to resemble the one for the Cross in a Christian church, not a traditional Chukkachi base as seen in general. On the Ubosot wall in front of the principal Buddha image,there is a picture of King Rama V created with stained glass. Through Buddhist functions with Christian Gothic featuring, there're few artifact decorations remained as western idol, such as the 2 western style knights sclupture in armor , placed on each side of the Buddha's domain base, and a large Renaissance style clockwerk on the right side of the domain.

Saint Joseph Church (Yi Jung)

First, the tress structure in the roof is the early Christian architecture style in medieval times.
But early Christian architecture just shows the pure timber structure in the ceiling, no coffin decoration in the ceiling.
Then, the decoration in the top of the wall is classical revival style in nineteen century.
Next, capital decorations in the arch don't follow the classic order; it's more like Rococo style for the shell shape capital decoration.
Moreover, the column attatches the wall in the back reminds me to think about ancient Egyptian architecture.
