Banteay Samre |
Banteay Samre
Beginning of 12th century, Suryavarman II.
Located 14 kilometers to the north east of Siem Reap. A finely proportioned
temple from the classic period. Undated but perhaps a little later than
Angkor Wat, the interior is similar in layout to that of Chousay Tevoda with
which it is perhaps contemporaneous. Dismantled and reconstructed between
1936 and 1944. The Samres were a people of mixed origin who were said to
have lived at the base of the Kulen hills.
