Ta Prohm Kel (Khmer: ប្រាសាទតាព្រហ្មកិល) is the ruined sanctuary (chapel) of the hospital just to the south of Angkor Thom.
Ta Prohm Kel has some charming rural scenes carved into the sides of the doorway, and small medallions decorating the door jambs. A row of five Buddhas is carved above the doorway.
