What travelers say:

The Temple of the Sword, built in the 12th century by the legendary King Jayavaman VII and dedicated to his father, King Dalanin Drawaman, is located just 2 km northeast of the "Angok City" castle on the "Grand Canyon", including moats, city walls, temples and shrines. It was partially cleaned and restored in the early 20th century, but the living area of ancient monks, students and servants remains surrounded by dense rainforests. The "Sword of the Holy Sword" was originally built as a Buddhist temple, but as the century progressed, Hindu shrines were added. Thus the Central Shrine was dedicated to Lord Buda, while the West and North were dedicated to the Hindu Vishnu and Shiva respectively. Ancestors were worshipped in the South and were the main passageway to the Central Shrine through the East. Take time to visit this fascinating temple with long corridors, beautiful sculptures, sculptures
