Wat Anlong Samnor (Chi Kreang)

A contemporary monastery and pagoda located by the river in the beautiful area of Kampong Chikreng. The sites basin has recently been redeveloped in Angkorian style and looks great while the pagoda is typical of those of the colonial era, also featuring beautiful old murals lining its inner walls and ceiling. Here, inside the pagoda the sacred area is demarcated by old stone carved sema. There are also several other sandstone remnants, including an offering table, and statuary fragments, seemingly from the post-Angkorian but I am not sure.
