Located 180m east of Tuol Bayok and a little over 1km east of Wat Tralaeng Kaeng, Toul Reachea is a Buddhist Terrace/vihara dating back to the Post-Angkorian era of the 15th-19th century and perhaps more precisely around the 16th-17th century of the Longvek-Oudong eras. Along with many other heritage sites, it sits within the ancient moated citadel area of Longvek which was once the capital after Angkor.
The site has been restored in recent times with a new chedi and Neak Ta shelter. The site was once demarcated by ornately carved leaf-style sandstone sema which are still in situ including their original sandstone pedestals. 30m to the south are the remains of a chedi/stupa.
