| Description | Phnom Krom was built by Yasovarman I (889-c.915) or possibly his court officials, but there are no known inscriptions to verify the date or name. The temple has three towers dedicated to the three main Hindu gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, and from the summit there are views of the Tonle Sap and West Baray. The statues of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva originally placed in the shrines were moved to the National Museum in Phnom Penh for preservation. | |
