Summary
[edit]DescriptionChan Chaya royal pavilion (Phnom Penh).jpg |
English: The Chan Chaya Royal Palace Pavilion of Phnom Penh in Cambodia (Khmer: "Preah Barum Reacha Veak Nei Preah Reacha Nayeak Kampuchea"), is a complex of buildings which is the royal abode of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Its full name in the Khmer language is Preah Barom Reachea Vaeng Chaktomuk. The Kings of Cambodia have occupied it since it was built in 1866, with a period of absence when the country fell into turmoil during and after the reign of the Khmer Rouge.
The palace was started after King Norodom (1860 – 1904) who relocated the royal capital from Oudong to Phnom Penh after the mid-1800s. It was gradually built atop an old citadel called Banteay Kev. It faces towards the East and is situated at the Western bank of four divisions at the Mekong River called Chaktomuk (an allusion to Brahma).
