Additional Information
Oudong was established by King Srei Soryapor in 1601, following the desertion of Longvek. During King Ang Duong’s tenure (1841–1850), he orchestrated the construction of waterways, elevated land, and crossings, along with the creation of numerous pagodas in that vicinity.
From 1618 to 1866 it was officially known as Oudong Meanchey, serving as the residence for a series of monarchs who were unseated from the previous capital, Longvek, due to Thai incursions. In 1866, King Norodom relocated, relocating his royal residence to the present-day capital, Phnom Penh, and abandoning Oudong.
