[geovalin]

Tonle Snguot temple, located in Kork Chak commune’s Angkor Krao village in Siem Reap city, has ‘reappeared’ after Apsara Authority finished restoring it. The temple is built of sandstone with a tower facing to the east. According to the architecture and  bas relief that adorn the temple, it is in the Bayon style of Jayavarman VII built in the late-12th to early-13th century.

 

Due to age, the temple, which was a former hospital during the reign of Jayavarman VII, was dilapidated and collapsed. According to Apsara Authority’s Facebook post yesterday it said: “Apsara Authority had started the project to renovate this temple and just completed the restoration project that makes this temple stand and show its beautiful appearance again. The temple will become a new destination for tourists.”

 

It also said: “In this renovation project, Apsara Authority’s working group found a door almost two metres high, the Buddha King of Medicine, many statues buried under the ground, pieces of door, as well as so many traces of the lives of many people in the past.
