The temple is worth the extra effort to experience the elaborate
architecture, and fine carvings, although theft has mutilated many of
the temple's treasures.
Banteay Samre is located 400 meters (1,312 miles) east of the East
Baray. It can be accessed by enter and leave Banteay Samre from the
east. It was built in the middle of the 12th century by king Suryavarman
II (reigned 1113-1150) and dedicated to Hindu (dedicated to vishnu)
with Art Style of Angkor Wat.
BACKGROUND
Banteay Samre is one of the most complete complexes at Angkor due to
restoration using the method of anastylosis. Unfortunately, the absence
of maintenance over the past 20 years is evident.

The name Samre refers to an ethnic group of mountain people, who
inhabited the regions at the base of Phnom Kulen and were probably
related to the Khmers. No inscription has been found for this temple,
but the style of most of the architecture is of the classic art of the
middle period similar to Angkor Wat.
The monument most likely dates from the same period, or, perhaps,
slightly later, although there are additions attributed to the Bayon style.
The proportions of Banteay Samre are plended. A unique feature is an
interior moat with laterite paving, which when filled with water must
have given an ethereal atmosphere to the temple. All of the buildings
around the moat are on a raised base with horizontal mouldings,
decoreated in some areas with figures framed by lotus buds.http://www.tourismcambodia.com
