Wat Khveng

Contemporary monastery and pagoda located on the east side of the Sangker River and about 5km south of Battambang city. It’s noted as having been founded around or before the 1800s. Unusually, the pagoda we see today, built in recent times, sits on a north-south axis as opposed the the usual east-west axis.
