It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century . It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (Khmer: យសោធរបុរៈ, present - day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum . Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu . As the best - preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation . The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture . It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors . </P>
