It is the mix of styles that perhaps makes Wat Nokor most interesting.

The main shrine of sandstone and laterite was first built in the 8th century and added to throughout the Angkor period and later.

There are gray and drab sections that look neglected, and other parts that strikingly modern. It has alcoves with Buddha images, while paintings within the inner sanctuary are kept in good condition by monks belonging to the modern pagoda attached to the temple.
