The first Khmer temple built in Angkor around 880, with numerous false doors. Indravarman founded his capital Hariharālaya here.

Preah Ko, which means the sacred bull (for Nandi, one of Shiva's vehicles), is the first Khmer temple ever built in Angkor, around 880. It was here that Indravarman I founded his capital Hariharālaya. Once called Baku, it is a group of six towers aligned in two rows. Its numerous false doors are of great wealth. The decorations on the corners of the facades were modelled in a lime plaster which has unfortunately disappeared in many places. It was only cleared in 1932 by the École française d'Extrême-Orient.
