Also known as Toul Reachea, it is located about 1km east of Wat Tralaeng Kaeng. It 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 rises on an elongated, laterite-buttressed, mound that’s orientated to the east, on an east-west axis. The long hall, a recent addition that replaced an open shelter that once housed a 1.25m tall stone Buddha which was demarcated by leaf-style sandstone sema. On its northeast corner, it features a causeway leading to a west-facing Neak Ta shrine.
