Wat Vihear Samnor

A contemporary monastery and pagoda featuring ornate leaf-style sema stone from its prior iteration, perhaps sometime in the 16-18th c. In the southwest corner of the grounds, there is an older brick stupa that may also be attributable to that era, mostly engulfed by a tree. The sala chan also features some nice murals on its inner eave panels.
