The discovery of Buddhist Sites Kalibukbuk first reported by the owner Angsoka Hotels in Lovina in 1991 when excavation for the manufacture of pool inadvertently found some fragments stupika which was partially destroyed by the workers because of ignorance about the artifact. Artifacts and successfully rescued the remaining amount to 80 stupika fruit, 18 fruit stamp, and 3 relief. The findings are now stored in the Institute for Archaeology (albino) Denpasar.
In 1994, albino Denpasar doing excavations for the first time in Kalibukbuk Buddhist temple located about 800 m to the south of the Hotel Angsoka place of discovery and successfully uncover dozens stupika brick temple structures.

Excavations are open 20 boxes with the results of the third strip structure in the form of temples and other findings harmika, summit, chattra, yasthi, ceramics, pottery, shoe horses, charcoal, bones and shells.

Overall Buddhist temple temple Kalibukbuk only found the basic course, being the body and roof of the temple can not be reconstructed clearly because at the time of discovery have been destroyed and damaged. Kalibukbuk Buddhist temple consists of three main building is one of the main temple and two ancillary temples in the northeastern and baratdayanya.Parent or Main Temple segidelapan shaped with a diameter of 8 m and a length of 3 meters per side. In the middle of the base of the temple there is a structure that menjari andesite to eight cardinal directions. It is estimated there is one room or rooms in the main building of this temple. It is strengthened by the findings of the ground floor features a red (crushed brick) in the middle of the temple and enter the stairs in the southeast. In the body of the temple there is the possibility of Buddhist reliefs, gana, elephant, lotus and vines are engraved on each side of the boundary wall with a frame (frame). The overall shape was found during excavation both by albino Denpasar and BP3 Pejeng.
Ancillary temples located in the northeast and southwest of the main temple square (square) with sides of 2.60 x 2.60 meters. Temple building ancillary structures remaining at the time of excavation is the foundation of the temple, some body temple and the temple-shaped rectangular sinks with the 1.40 x 1.40 meters. Both wells are ancillary temples ever discovered stupika with three stacking arrangement.
The third temple has been reconstructed and is now done by BP3 Pejeng reinforcement with cement, lime and sand in the middle of the building.

Determination of age of the building still be an interesting debate because until now has never been done laboratory analysis of the constituent bricks. Age determination based solely on assumptions that are qualitatively mere conjecture.
The first estimates based on the findings stupika at these locations directly associated with the findings during Pejeng Site stupika in Bali, Banyuwangi Gumukklinting site, Borobudur and stupika findings in Palembang is built in VIII to X century AD. This assumption is reinforced by the findings of stamp duty stupika clay in the form of spells Prenagari lettered Buddhist and Sanskrit.
Estimated second set based on the findings of china and pottery fragments kepeng excavation results at these locations. Based on the findings of the analysis of both artifacts can be ascertained from the two dynasties of Yuan (1279 - 1367 AD) and Ming (1368 - 1644 AD), so the possibility Kalibukbuk Buddhist Temple was built in XIII to XIV century AD.
Kalibukbuk Buddhist temple is now one of tourism object in Lovina Buleleng. Support is provided directly by the people Kalibukbuk and Local Government makes the Buddhist Temple Buleleng Regency Kalibukbuk is maintained until today and be one of the cultural asset that is priceless. view
