Leak Neang Temple is the sanctuary, or chapel, of the hospital built by Jayavarman VII east of Angkor Thom.
It is in relatively good condition, compared to its southern and northern counterparts, Ta Prohm Kel Temple and Tonle Sgnout Temple.
The hospital chapels all have a laterite gate and a sandstone terrace facing the monument on the east side.

On The Lantern Chronicles, I gather writings from Angkor, myth and legend, contemplative essays, and poetry — works shaped by silence, beauty, wonder, memory, and the deeper questions that follow us through the world.
It is a place for stone and story, reflection and vow, shadow and revelation.
You would be most welcome there.
