It is not clear exactly when the pagoda was built, however, its claim to fame is the great reclining Buddha that was installed in the main temple (Preah Vihear) in 1500. There is a picturesque fable about why the Buddha is there, so if you want to find out how a boat turns into a Buddha, go and take a look. In 1915, the temple and main monastery were extended, to include an academic building (University) and a library. The expansion continued until 1945.
