The ancient capital of the Angkor Empire was located here. The area is huge and contains tens of temples, some of which have completely fallen apart.
The main temple was never restored and is reminiscent of a Mayan temple.
Due to the dusty road, a visit to the site is actually only possible by car

Koh Ker (Khmer: ប្រាសាទកោះកេរ) is the modern name for a formerly important city of the Khmer Empire, which was called Lingapura (City of Lingas) or Chok Gargyar ("City of Splendor"). It is located in the north of Cambodia in a sparsely populated jungle area, around 120 kilometers from Siem Reap and Angkor. Over 180 monuments have been discovered so far in an area of 81 km2. Most are hidden in the forest, some of which is still heavily mined. Around two dozen sanctuaries can be visited safely.
