Banteay Samré is a Khmer temple at Angkor, built in the first half of the 12th century in the Angkor Wat style. The infobox credits Suryavarman II and Yasovarman II, but the text says the founder is uncertain and a high court official may have commissioned it. The article names no architect.
It stands about 1,300 feet (400 m) east of the East Baray, reached by a 656-foot (200 m) raised causeway from the east. The outer enclosure wall is 20 feet (6 m) high. A single tower over the shrine joins a mandapa by an antarala, and two libraries flank the central structures.
A 1,150-foot (350 m) avenue runs from the East Baray to a cruciform terrace on the west side. Maurice Glaize restored the temple from 1936 to 1944. The article does not describe its present condition or access.
