Location: East of Taprohm temple.
Situated within the little circuit at the rear of of Taprohm temple and near Srah Srang & Banteay Kdei temples. It consists of three prasats inside of the ruins with a few carvings still visible. Kutisvara is historically significant in that it had been described in an inscription associated with the 9th century through the rule of Jayavarman II, the creator of the Angkor the Empire. This is among the first references to an Angkor area temple.
The middle tower shows the Preah Ko style. The outside towers are in Pre Rup style. Very few visitors visit this temple and some of the drivers do not know it. Just point it out on the map. It is a bit off the main path back between several rice paddies. In the wet season when the paddies are full, motor cycle taxis cannot get all the way to the temple. So, a short but probably wet walk from the road to the temple may be required.
