Prasat Prei

Construction : Late 12th century

Religion : Mahayana Buddhism
Style : Bayon
King : Jayavarman VII   (1181 – 1218 )
Location : On the large circuit on the left between Preah Khan and Neak Pean,
with a few tens of meters of the road.

Perched on a small hillock, Prasat Prei or the temple of the forest, dates from the same period as its neighbor Banteay Prei. It is difficult to evaluate the relations which necessarily exist between these two small temples, very with calms and slightly with the shelter of the glances. The central part of the temple which was restored has beautiful pace, but there remains unfortunately only that. A peaceful place to visit which does not move away us too much from the large circuit.
