The temple was mentioned in Nagarakretagama as Bajrajinaparamitapura (Vajra Jina Paramita Pura), being visited by king Hayam Wuruk during his royal tour across East Java in 1359 CE.
The temple building was constructed from high quality red brick material, some parts of which are decorated with bas relief.
Jabung temple faces west, with the western part having a projected structure which forms a flight of stairs reaching up to the main chamber on the elevated upper platform.
On this platform there is narrow path surrounding the temple decorated with several panels of bas relief describing everyday life, such as: Rectangular structure with west part projected as flight of stairs.

On the upper door frame there is an andesite stone block carved with 1276 saka or 1354 CE, dating the completion of temple construction.
The temple is around 5 kilometres to the east of the town of Kraksaan, or 500 metres southeast from the Jabung Tirta swimming pool, on the main Surabaya - Situbondo highway.
