Koh Ker Temple

We drive from Preah Vihear temple about 75.00 minutes
to Ruins of a 10th-century complex featuring several Hindu temples, including a 7-tiered pyramid.

For two decades, in the second quarter of the tenth century, Koh Ker instead of Angkor was the capital of the Khmer empire. Almost all monuments in the huge temple town - the second largest in Cambodia, second only to Angkor - originate from this short period.

Koh Ker becomes capital of the Khmer empire
Soon after his coronation Jayavarman IV. in 928 decided not to reside in Angkor but to return to his stronghold Koh Ker, where he carried on with his building program. This way Koh Ker (Chok Gargyar) replaced Angkor (Yashodharapura) as Khmer capital officially. Inscriptional evidence for Koh Ker being the capital was found also outside Koh Ker, namely in Siem Reap, Battambang, Kampong Cham, and even in Takeo province in the south. At least ten thousand inhabitants lived in the new capital.
