The temple was dedicated to Vishnu in 921 AD, according to the inscription. It’s a site that is often skipped, which is a shame, as the style of bas-relief carvings here are quite unique, as the only other brick temple with inner bas-reliefs (that survives today) in Cambodia would be Preaus Meas (Phnom Trap).
