Khleangs, Temples at Angkor, Cambodia
The Khleangs are elongated, rectangular buildings of unknown purpose in the Angkor archaeological park.
Constructed during the reign of King Suryavarman I and Jayavarman V, they are among the earliest buildings in the area.
Originally believed to be palaces, recent interpretations suggest they may have served administrative functions.
Open on all sides, they represent a departure from the walled sanctuaries common to the region.
Distinctive for their ‘false doors,’ Khleangs blend architectural beauty with enigmatic purposes.
