    Krol Ko

    Building date: Late 12th century
    Religion: Buddhism
    Style: Bayon
    King: Jayavarman VII From 1181 To 1218
    Location: On the large circuit, at the end of a small road on the left while going from Neak Pean to Ta Som.



    A small temple having a single middle tower encompassed by two laterite walls. Pediments showing the most significant designs and carvings at the site are on the ground across from the enclosure wall. Krol Ko is not frequently visited, and so provides an amazing respite. A really peaceful place, this particular temple whose name means the cattle shed or the park for cows, was a religious reference mark for the surrounding stockbreeders. Several statues are in good shape, and it is exciting also to see the stones on the ground. One may rest here, take a few photographs, and meditate before the visit continues.
