Cambodia > Places & Sights > Angkor > Banteay Srei
The shrine of Banteay Srei was built from pink sandstone in 967, more than a thousand years ago. It is ornate, well preserved...and small, which makes it a favourite with tourists who feel lost in buildings of the giant scope of Angkor Wat.
Unlike Angkor's other temples, Banteay Srei was not commissioned by a king but by a Brahmin who served kings Rajendravarman II and Jayavarman V.
Banteay Srei is located about 20 km north-east of Angkor Wat. The best way to get there is to rent a car with a driver.
Banteay Srei is ideally combined with Kbal Spean and Phnom Kulen.
