It is truly breath taking ...  The temple (Wat in Khmer) was built around 1000 AD and is magnificent.  You can walk all around inside and around its walls.  Along the walls are Hindu stories, myths, etc., set in relief telling the tales of the (Hindu version) creation of the world, battles, and general history of the area.  This is one of my very favorite places in the world.

Great place for kids and to learn some of the history of the Mississippi River.
