    Prasat Prei

    Building date: Late 12th century
    Religion: Mahayana Buddhism
    Style: Bayon
    King: Jayavarman VII From 1181 To 1218
    Location: > On the large circuit on the left between Preah Khan and Neak Pean, 10 - 20 meters from the road.



    A Tiny, un-touristed temple ruins in the woodland near Neak Pean. There are the remains of a gopura , the middle tower and halls, and also the vestiges of a library and encircling wall, as well as some apsaras and lintel carvings. A basic and tranquil place. Perched over a small hillock, Prasat Prei (temple of the forest) dates in the same era as its neighbor Banteay Prei.




    It is hard to gauge the relations which actually existed among both of these small temples, really with calms and somewhat with all the shelter of the looks. The middle section of the temple that was restored has gorgeous pace, yet presently there remains unfortunately only that. A tranquil location to visit that isn't far away from the large circuit.
