I've been combing through our notes, trying to remember what this building is called. We passed through it on the way to the Terrace of the Elephants.

If memory server me right, this is Phimeanakas, a part of Angkor Thom which was build about 1200 by Jayavarman VII. The building itself, of which only a ruins remain, was a Hindu temple in the Khleang style. It is on the compound of the ancient Royal Palace. (We would welcome any correspondence to help clarify the matter).
