Preah Khan

Built: Late twelfth century C.E.

Religion: Buddhist

Lord/Patron: Jayavarman VII

Style: Bayon

Preah Khan was based on the site of Jayavarman VII's triumph over the attacking Chams in 1191.

In its prime, this was the focal point of a generous association with very nearly 100,000 authorities and workers. This sanctuary is level in outline, with a fundamental arrangement of progressive rectangular exhibitions around a Buddhist haven muddled by Hindu satellite sanctuaries and various later increases. With various trees and other vegetation developing among the remains, Preah Khan has been left to a great extent unrestored.
