Kouk Chak Temple

Also known as Kok Chak, a group of two brick temples aligned north-south and open to the east with sandstone door frames framed by octagonal columns. A side of each doorframe features short inscriptions that are registered under K 521. The site was originally surrounded by a moat (now dry).

Recently, an APSARA team carried out the restoration and strengthening of brickwork to preserve the site.

Inscriptions

  • K. 521 – doorjambs – 15 + 16 lines of Khmer – IC IV, p. 167 – among other notes, the inscription provides a foundation date of 850 AD.
