Kuil ini dibangun di XV Century dan selama itu, daerah itu angker penuh dengan semak-semak dan pepohonan. Sejarah kuil dimulai ketika Pendeta Hindu Dang Hyang Dwijendra yang sedang melakukan meditasi di Pura Uluwatu, menerima kunjungan dari penduduk desa Kerobokan yang datang untuk meminta bantuan. Orang-orang dari desa memberi tahu Dang Hyang Dwijendra tentang tanah yang sangat misterius di dekat desa mereka di mana setiap kali seseorang mencoba memasuki tanah, orang-orang akan jatuh sakit. Sebagai solusinya, Dang Hyang Dwijendra menginstruksikan orang untuk membangun sebuah kuil di daerah tersebut dan diberi nama Pura Petitenget, yang berarti peti yang sangat angker. Keadaan ajaib terjadi, karena Bait Suci didirikan, daerah menjadi lebih ramah dan indah hingga saat ini. Pura Petitenget berdiri di tanah yang lebih tinggi, sementara di bagian barat tample ada pantai berpasir putih yang indah di Petitenget. Di kompleks luar kuil, ada teras yang cukup besar. Saat memasuki Bait Suci, kita harus melewati beberapa anak tangga. Candi ini adalah salah satu tempat untuk meminta keselamatan dan kesejahteraan bagi orang-orang Hindu di Bali.
