Preah Khan

Constructed at second half of the 12th century (1191) by king Jayavarman VII. Religion: Buddhist. Art style: Bayon.

Preah Khan, an extensive 56 hectares Buddhist complex was built in 1191 as a monastery and center for earning by the Khmer king Jayavarman and dedicated to his father Dharanindravarman. The temple, which is located a few kilometers to the northeast of the north gate Angkor Thom, served as the nucleus of a group that includes the temples of Neak Pean and Ta Som, located along the 4km long Jayatataka Baray – the last of the great reservoirs to be built in Angkor.
