Rajendravarman built a central temple, Pre Rup, which has some fine carvings on the temple doors. He surrounded Pre Rup with other religious buildings made of stone and many wooden houses for his court to live in. He also built the East Mebon Temple in AD952 on an island in the east [G 04 / baray]. Both are large pyramid temples with layers of platforms and five towers symbolizing the five peaks of Mount Meru. He then built [L3 210 / the Phimeanakas Temple, which was later surrounded by the Royal Enclosure], built some years later by Jayavarman V. The [L3 403 / Phimeanakas temple has an interesting legend about a Khmer king and a snake princess] attached to it.
