Site Size & Condition: Small Tuol Wat Sasar Muoy Roy (វត្តសសរមួយរយ - Pronounced: Woit Sa-sor Muoy Roy)

Sambor's famous 100 Pillar (or column) Pagoda was located on the site of an ancient brick temple - the foundations of which can apparently still be seen to the east of today's main worshipping hall. Various artifacts displayed in the wat compound include a stone lion and 2 inscription steles.

A Sanskrit inscription reportedly found here was moved to the Musée Guimet in Paris while a second, in ancient Khmer text, is now at the Angkor Conservancy.
