Don Mong Temple (Sambor Prei Kuk)

Also recorded as Doun Mong and M. 075, it is the partially standing remnants of three small brick temples aligned on a north-south axis and opening to the east. According to reports, the site also featured a library and an outer enclosure wall was also made of brick.

The partially standing central shrine is rectangular with a short forebody extending its eastern opening. Inside, a hole can be seen in the north wall that may have once featured a water spout (Somasutra) and around mid-height of the walls, remnants of a brick ledge. Around the exterior, decorative elements typically of Sambor Prei Kuk can be seen around the base and embossed pilasters around the main temple body.
