Prasat Andaet | |
Located 22 km northwest of Kampong Thom, south of the RN 6, this tower is remarkable for its age and as it is fairly well preserved. The temple is dated towards 750 AD. On an artificial hill is a brick tower, rectangular and much elongated. The superstructure consists of two false storeys, topped by a terminal vault. The gables to the East and West were rounded. . It sheltered a statue of Harihara (a god who is half Shiva and half Vishnu). The statue is now in the National Museum Phnom Penh. A recent vihear was erected close to the east face of the tower.
