It bears the same name as the Banteay Srei, and Samre refers to a minority originally living in Phnom Kulen. It is said to belong to the era of Suryavarman II (AD 1113-1150). The base of Banteay Samre is one metre high. It was surrounded by a moat, like the Aral Sea that surrounds Mount Xumi. Tourists are scarce and the environment is quiet. Entering Bantisema Temple, there are remnants of corridor pillars on both sides of the corridor. The wooden roofs of these corridors have long since disappeared.
