The Your Som ( the ancètre Som ) is a Buddhist temple on the site of Angkor to the Kampuchea.

Located at the East end of the baray north-eastern (Jayatatāka), this whole of modest size was set up by Jayavarman VII towards the end of the 12th century.

Built in the style of the Bayon, it includes/understands two enclosures surrounding the temple itself. First of all an external enclosure, simple wall in Latérite equipped only with two gopur has and Western is surmounted turns with four faces. In North and the South two simply decorated blank doors are. This wall delimits a rectangular space of approximately 200 m out of 240 m, in which only two basins remain, on both sides of the alley Is.

The interior enclosure, preceded by a ditch and which one reaches by two cruciform terraces decorated with nāgas is a laterite gallery and sandstone.

The temple itself has an enclosure of 20 m by 30 m surrounding the turn-sanctuary power station, a prasat of cruciform plan on false floors, and two small " bibliothèques" in the East.
