The Khleangs are two buildings of unknown purpose on the east side of the Royal Square in Angkor Thom, Cambodia, located just behind the twelve towers of Prasat Suor Prat and separated by the royal route that leads from the Angkor Thom Royal Palace to the Victory Gate.
They have given their name to the Khleang style, which is characterised by relatively simple lintels with a central kala.
Rectangular sandstone buildings set opposite the Elephants Terrace, behind the Prasat Suor Prat.
‘Khleang’ means ‘storeroom’ but it is unlikely that this was the function of the structures, A royal oath of allegiance is carved into the doorway of one Khleang indicating that they may have served as reception areas or even housing for visiting noblemen and ambassadors.
The Khleangs are unremarkable upon close inspection but picturesque from a distance, standing among the Prasat Suor Prat.
