Vihear Preah Atherus (វិហារព្រះអដ្ឋរស្ស - Pronounced: Vik-here Prayer Eth-tha-ruhs!)
The ruined vihara was built consecrated October 19th in 1911 by King Sisowath, though the construction actually started during King Norodoms reign. The site was constructed on top of a former 10-11th century Angkorean temple as evident by the lintel and colonettes that still remains in situ as part of the viharas door frame/door way, of which appear to be in the Khleang or Baphuon art style.
