Wat Moha Montrey, Buddhist temple on Sihanouk Boulevard, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The temple sanctuary rises to 35 meters in height and features traditional Cambodian architectural elements with detailed wall paintings throughout the structure.
During the period from 1975 to 1979, the temple buildings were repurposed by the Khmer Rouge regime to store agricultural products like rice and corn.
The temple walls display murals where Buddhist angels take the form of classical Khmer dancers, while officials appear in white Sihanouk-era military uniforms.
Located at the intersection of Sihanouk Boulevard and Street 163, the temple stands near the Olympic Stadium and maintains regular hours for religious ceremonies.
The name Moha Montrey honors Chakrey Ponn, King Monivong's War Minister, translating from Khmer language as 'The Great Minister' in English.
