Reinforcement work on ruined ancient temple outside Cambodia’s Angkor completed

via China.org, 08 November 2021: The temple is outside the Angkor Archaeological Park area, but near Banteay Srei.

Experts from the APSARA National Authority (ANA) have successfully reinforced the structure of the ruined Banteay Srey Domdek temple outside Cambodia’s Angkor, said an ANA’s press release on Monday.

The ANA is the management authority responsible for protecting and preserving the Historic Site of Angkor and the ancient monuments outside of Angkor in northwest Cambodia’s Siem Reap Province.

Puth Soth, the official in charge of the working site, said the structural reinforcement was a measure to prevent further danger to the ancient temple.

“The current state of the Banteay Srey Domdek temple is very dilapidated, especially the door frame of central tower and the crack at window frame,” he said. “If interventions were not in place, they would pose a threat to the temple.”
