Angkor Wat is a Buddhist temple in Angkor, Cambodia. The Khmer King Suryavarman II (1113 C.E-1150 C.E) constructed Angkor Wat as a Hindu temple in the early 12th century C.E. Angkor Wat continued to serve as a Hindu temple until the late 13th century. When the Buddhist Srindravarman (ruler from 1295-1308) took power of the Khmer kingdom he converted the temple of Angkor Wat into a Buddhist temple. Angkor Wat was abandoned for the most part in the 16th century. In the 20th century the temple was mostly restored.
