Banteay Kdey Temple

Banteay Kdey Temple is located in front of Srah Srang and southeast of Ta Prohm Temple, Siem Reap Province. It was built in the late half of the 12th and early 13th centuries by King Jayavarman VII. The temple is similar in art and architecture of Ta Prohm, but it is smaller and less complex.

Research conducted by the University of Sofia has indicated that this temple was built on another older temple as evidenced by a foundation base found under Banteay Kdey temple. Archeologists believe the foundation may be related to Kod village during the reign of King Jayavarman II.
