Bokor church, Catholic church on Bokor Mountain, Cambodia.

The Church of Mount Bokor stands at 1000 meters elevation, featuring neo-Romanesque architecture with a square belfry and locally sourced stone walls.

Built between 1919 and 1928 under French cartographer Noël Salvarelli, the church later served as barracks during the Khmer Rouge period.

The structure represents the second-oldest Roman Catholic church in Cambodia, combining French colonial design with regional building materials.

Visitors can reach the church through mountain roads in Bokor National Park, where temperatures remain lower than surrounding areas.

The church walls display visible marks from gunfire, reflecting the conflicts that occurred during the Vietnamese occupation in the 1980s.
