Preah Khan

Temple Siem Reap, Siem Reap, Cambodia

What to expect

Preah Khan is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII to honor his father. It is located northeast of Angkor Thom and just west of the Jayatataka baray, with which it was associated. The temple is flat in design, with a basic plan of successive rectangular galleries around a Buddhist sanctuary complicated by Hindu satellite temples and numerous later additions. Like the nearby Ta Prohm, Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins. The institution combined the roles of city, temple and Buddhist university, with almost 100,000 officials and servants, including 1000 dancers and 1000 teachers
