Trung Khla Khmum Temple (ប្រាសាទទ្រុងខ្លាឃ្មុំ)

Trung Khla Khmum Temple was built in the 10th century AD. It's located in Khla Khmum Village, Khnong Phnom Commune, Svay Leu District, Siem Reap Province. The temple is made of bricks and has three towers that all face east. The middle tower is slightly higher, while the two side towers are now damaged and have collapsed. The temple itself is quite small compared to other temples. 
On the east side of the temple, there are three ponds. Based on the remains of an eight-sided decorative column and the carved brick designs, which include patterns shaped like a cat’s paw and dragon (naga) heads, we can guess that this temple was built after the Kulen style period, likely sometime in the 10th century AD.
