The four Hindu sanctuaries date to the early 12th century. The Buddhist structure is probably of a later date, and remains unfinished.

Description

The Preah Pithu Group is a series of five towers arranged in no apparent order admist enclosure walls, moats, and ponds. While all of the sanctuaries are eastward facing square towers situated on raised platforms, it is likely that only two were built together and the rest added at a later time.
