Name: Preah Keo Morakot Temple
Description: Wat Preah Keo Morakot had imitated the Cambodian
architecture and been built since 1892 to 1902. Then, it was removed and
reconstructed in 1962. Previously, the temple was called Wat Ubor Soth Rotana
Ream Temple because the King of Cambodia used this temple for holding ceremonies
to follow the eight silos on every Buddhist holiday. In addition, the relatives
of Kings and officers had held other ceremonies abiding by Buddhism at this
temple. But in this temple didn't have monks, only his Majesty Preah Bat Samdech
Preah Norodom Sihanouk stays there during the time of being a priest for a term
(in the year of pig AD 2490 Correspondence the 31st July 1947). Therefore, it
had a normal word called " Preah Vihear Preah Keo " is not " Wat " in the said
word. When His Majesty celebrated any Buddhism celebration day, he would invite
monks from another monastery in Phnom Penh City such as Wat Unaloam, Wat
Botumvattey etc. Wat Preah Keo Morakot is located in the South of Royal palace
surrounding by high long-buildings.
