Standing next to an active pagoda, Prasat Neang Khmau consists of two deteriorating brick prasats (towerws) built in the Ankorrain-era in the 10th century A.D. under king jayarman IV. There was probably at least one more and perhaps as many as three more ancient prasats where the modern pagoda now sits. Prasat Neang Khmau was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. The temple complex is named after Neang Khmau, 'Black lady', a modern-era statue located in front of the temple.
Date of constuction: 10th or 11th century C.E.
Religious Affiliation: Hindu (Shiva)
Patron or King: jayavarman IV
