Prasat Hin Mueang Tam is a Khmer temple in the Khleang and Baphuon styles; which dates from the late 10th and early 11th centuries. The primary deity was Shiva; although Vishnu was also worshipped here.
br/>Prasat Meuang Tam was constructed on the orders of King Jayavarman V. Surrounded by a high laterite wall; the complex includes magnificent stepped tanks which have been lovingly restored and filled with lotus flowers. The mellow sandstone of the sanctuary walls and artistically-carved lintels contrasts beautifully with the darker; coarser laterite of the surrounding sanctuary walls. The sense is one of peace and quiet reverence - the more so since this temple is rarely visited compared with nearby Phanom Rung; and much less well-known.
