- | Type: Ancient Remains & Temples
Contemporary monastery and pagoda housing a collection of remnants from ancient temples sites. In the surrounding area there are several recorded archaeological sites inc. Don Tea, Kok Phnov, and Ta Chin.
The collection features numerous pedestals, a pediment fragment, a colonette, and several temple crowns. All by appearances dating to around the 11th century. There was also some stunning wood carving but unfortunately there was no one around to find out whose amazing craftmanship it was. Yet another reason why it’s always worth stopping by pagodas in your travels 🙂
