Prasat Preah Khan Kampong Svay Khloung Thvear Khang Lech (ប្រាសាទព្រះខ័នកំពង់ស្វាយក្លោងទ្វារខាងលិច - Pronounced: Pra-sart P'rah Kanh Kuhm-pohng S'vay K'lowng T'vier Karhng Lech)
The western gopura of Prasat Preah Khan (Kampong Svay) follows a similar design to the northern and southern gates - being slightly smaller than the main, eastern entrance. As a remoter, less-visited site it is correspondingly more overgrown and has seen fewer attempts at repair and maintenance. Nonetheless, some lintels and reliefs remain in situ.
As with the other three gopuras certain doorways and windows appear to have been blocked by laterite as an afterthought, the reason for this is not known.
The sanctuary site of Prasat Cham (Ta Saeng) is situated some 200m west of here on a similar axis while a number of smaller sites are located amid what is today forest covering the area between the western gopura and outer wall of the city.
