Wat Prek Pou (Srei Santhor)

Contemporary monastery and pagoda set on large grounds, featuring several older style chedi. Some speculate as to whether this may have been the location of an ancient capital/palace or at least a significant site in the 16th century. Some of the stupa/chedi is quite interesting, and at least one may correlate to that time, plus there are also some odd pieces of carved sandstone adding to the mystery.
