Bokor Hill Station, Hill station in Tuek Chhou District, Cambodia.
Bokor Hill Station is a mountain settlement at 1048 meters elevation within Bokor National Park, featuring empty colonial buildings and modern resort developments. The site spreads across the mountaintop with older structures from French times standing alongside newer facilities.
French colonists founded this mountain retreat in 1921 to escape Phnom Penh's heat, and the Bokor Palace Hotel opened in 1925. The place then became an established resort destination before later periods changed its development.
A Catholic church with a Romanesque bell tower stands near a Buddhist temple, showing how French and Khmer traditions coexist in the same place. Both buildings are part of the daily landscape and reflect the communities that have lived here.
A modern road connects the place to Kampot in the lowlands below, making it fairly easy to reach. A national park entrance fee grants access to explore both natural areas and historical sections.
A former royal residence known as the Black Palace remains abandoned along the access road and slowly decays. Wild monkeys live in the area and can often be spotted near the Temple of Five Boats.
