Prasat Sa Khampaeng Yai Temple

Prasat Sa Khampaeng Yai is an important Buddhist sanctuary built in the XI century.

The temple building is built of laterite and sandstone in the style of Baphuon with elements of the Khleang style in honor of the Hindu god Shiva. The temple was later transformed into a Buddhist temple.

The monumental gate has three entrances. The entrance to the main courtyard is decorated with inscriptions in Khmer. Door boxes, carved pediments, jumpers have high artistic value. The southern facade of the building is decorated with scenes depicting Shiva, his wife Uma and members of their room. In the nearby modern chapel there is a beautiful statue of the sitting Buddha and other sculptures of the XIII century.
