Lonely Planet review for Preah Khan
Where all faiths collide, Preah Khan is a Buddhist complex with parts dedicated to Vishnu and other sections to Shiva. Part of King Jayavarman VII's impressive portfolio, Preah Khan was dedicated to his father, the multisyllable Dharanindravarman. It was originally a Buddhist complex housing more than 1000 Buddhist teachers. Covering 56 hectares, it is also another compound where temples and trees intertwine, evoking the conquistador feeling of discovering ancient secrets.
