Khnar Makhop Temple

Prasat Khnar Makhop, located in Phum Penh Commune of Kulean District, Preah Vihear Province is recorded by Inscribed stele registered under K 667 as being one of the many hospital chapels. It has a generic layout as seen with others being a single sandstone tower, square, with a short hall leading east, “library” building in the southeast corner that opens to the west, outer enclosure wall, and a basin.

It’s apparent that it was never finished, with much of the central shrine never receiving its decorative carving.

Historical Notes

200 m. to the north of the NW corner of the citadel, is a monument from a fairly late period, Pr. Bantãy Thlèn, where I find a new example of the hospital stele, in perfect condition.
