Located to the southeast of Phnom Chhngok in Kampot Province, Wat Kirisophea is a contemporary monastery and pagoda featuring a stupa that is centuries old. The pagoda is quite old too, surrounded by a moat and featuring ornate pediments, one of which curiously features a Yin Yang symbol in a lotus medallion.
