Banteay Samré, a Hindu temple built in the early 12th century located 400m east of the East Baray under Suryavarman II and Yasovarman II which from the same period as Angkor Wat. The temple is in a fairly healthy sate of preservation due to some extensive renovation work, although its isolation has resulted in some looting during the past two decades. The area consists of a central temple with four wings, preceded by a hall and also accompanied by two libraries, the southern of which is remarkably well preserved. The whole ensemble is enclosed by two large concentric walls around what would have been the unique feature of an inner moat, sadly now dried up.
To reach Banteay Samré is which in practical terms means following the road to Banteay Srei to the village of Pradak and continuing straight ahead rather than following the tarmac to the right. A visit here can be combined with a trip to Banteay Srei or Phnom Bok.
