History

Labrang gompa was constructed in Tumlong, North Sikkim in 1826 CE and completed in 1843 CE. The founder of the monastery was Gyaltsey Rigzin Champo who was the son of King Tshugphud Nmgyal and he was the first Kapgain of the monastery. The Palden Phuntshok monastery was built by Gyalshe Rigzing Chempa in the memory of Latsun Chembo of Kongpu, Tibet.[1] Major renovation was carried out in 1978 with government aid.[3]

This monastery has retained its unique architecture as most other older wooden structures of monasteries have burnt down. The wooden pillars and roofing of Labrang monastery have been reinforced with steel.
