Uliyannur temple, dedicated to Lord Siva, dates back to the 12th century. The srikovil of this temple is in the form of a vritha vimana with a granite adhishtana. This sandhara-type temple with a tiled roof has four cardinal openings. Its square Namaskaramandapam carries granite Nandi inside. The chief deity, Lord Siva, is facing the east. Goddess Sri Parvathi, enshrined in the back, is facing the west. The balipita is set outside, and the pranala with a gomukha at the tip supported by a Yakshi figure is in the usual pattern. There are remains of an old compound wall of laterite blocks surrounding the temple complex. It is believed that the temple was built by 'Perumthachan'.
