It is called in Khmer (Banteay Torp) it means that the army or military base. It is about 55 kilometers from the provincial town. It was used as the bigest army base during the reign of King Jayavarman VII (1181-1219). It is geographically located on Road No. 69A of Banteay Chhmar Village, Banteay Chhmar Commune, Thmor Puok District. Today, it becomes a historical war place for the local and international tourists who come to visit it. This alone temple has been left largely untouched in the tropical rain forest for many centuries and it was just rediscovered recently. Well! unluckily, it has never been restored yet, but only some clearance work on the site. We do hope that in the near future; we all have a strong conviction that, it will be renovated by UNESCO or other international countiries who are interested in this heritage site.
