The remnants of Sambor Prei Kuk, a Pre-Angkorian period and early Khmer temple complex near the town of Kompong Thom, located to the North of Tonle Sap Lake.

The edifices are mostly made of brick and sometimes of sandstone, and are square or oblong in shape.

From ancient inscriptions within the complex, it was discovered that the main divinity worshipped here was Prahasitesvara, which is one of the many epithets of Shiva.

Besides this, an upper and a lower part of a broken statue of the goddess Durga were found in two different towers. This deity was one of the most popular early Khmer female sacred images.

In 2014, this group of 7th century temple ruins was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, after being on the tentative list awaiting recognition for 22 years.
