Banteay Samre, is perhaps one of the most beautiful
of the smaller ancient temple sites almost rivalling the popular Banteay Srei site.
It was built in the early 11th century as a Hindu temple under the reign of
King Suryavarman II (reign 1113 – c.1150 AD) and later completed by
King Yasovarman II (reign 1160 – 1166 AD) in the early 12th century.
It is located about 10 km to the northeast of Angkor Wat and near the
eastern edge of the ancient East Baray.
