The chapel of the hospital is west of Ta Keo temple and
Spean Thma, on the west side of the road just over the bridge across Stung Siem
Reap.
The chapel was built in the late 12th century by King
Jayavarman VII. An inscription found in the area confirms the identity of this
site as one of the chapels of the 102 hospitals built by the King. The central
sanctuary is cruciform-shaped opening to east with false door on the other
three sides. Female divinities adorn the exterior and a scroll surrounds the
base of the tower. The pediments are decorated with images of the Buddha.
