Wat Svay Damnak (Rovieng District of Preah Vihear)

Area: Preah Vihear Province > Rovieng District > Romtum Commune > Svay Damnak Thmei
| Type: Ancient Remains & Temples

A small contemporary monastery and pagoda located in the village of Svay Damnak Thmei in Rovieng District of Preah Vihear. The monastery houses a collection of ancient artifacts including boundary markers that would at first appearances date to around the 12-13th century. At the time of visiting we were unable to determine from where they originated. The nearest recorded ancient site is Svay Damnak and a little further to the west, Preah Chhor.
