Norodom Sihanouk Memorial

Norodom Sihanouk Memorial, Bronze memorial statue in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Norodom Sihanouk Memorial is a commemorative site in Phnom Penh featuring a 4.5-meter bronze statue of the king in a business suit positioned beneath a 27-meter stupa on Preah Suramarit Boulevard. The statue stands within a landscaped garden setting that blends traditional Buddhist architectural forms with contemporary design.

The memorial was inaugurated in 2013 to honor a king who guided Cambodia to independence from French rule in 1953 and navigated the country through several distinct political periods. His leadership shaped the course of modern Cambodian history.

The memorial is also called the Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk, a name that reflects the affection Cambodians hold for the late monarch. The bronze figure shows him in a business suit rather than royal regalia, and the monument is dedicated to his achievement in securing the country's liberation from French colonial rule on 9 November 1953.

The memorial stands in the park east of the Independence Monument, on Preah Suramarit Boulevard. The statue is sheltered under a stupa, so the immediate area offers shade. When the statue was inaugurated in October 2013, public access was tightly monitored and armed military police were stationed nearby.

The statue shows Sihanouk in a business suit rather than royal regalia, and it cost about US$1.2 million, taking roughly eight months to complete. It was inaugurated in October 2013, a year after his death in Beijing on 15 October 2012. The monument is dedicated to his achievement in securing Cambodia's independence from French colonial rule on 9 November 1953.
