Chau Say Tevoda is located about 70 meters south of Shengli Gate in Tongwang City. The temple was built in the early 12th century under the rule of Sayawaman II. The Temple of Tomanon, 170 meters north of the temple, was built in the same period. Its architectural layout and structure are exactly the same. But it is not clear why these two buildings were built. Only in the late nineteenth century, when French military officer Diko in Cambodia discovered the building, he learned from the local population that the temple was dedicated to Chau Say, so the French named it Chau Say Tevoda.
