Wat Krom Pagoda

Founded in 1962 by the King Father Norodom Sihanouk, Wat Intagnan is a historic spiritual landmark born from a nationwide festival to build Sihanoukville’s first major pagodas. It is a sacred pagoda where Cambodian people who believe in Buddhism come to pray and show their respect to Buddhist traditions. The temple was officially completed and inaugurated in 1966 under royal presidency. During the Khmer Rouge regime (1975–1979), it was tragically closed and used as a local prison. Following the liberation in 1979, the pagoda was completely restored by local authorities, port workers, and Buddhist devotees. Today, it serves as a beautiful coastal sanctuary featuring traditional Khmer architecture, colorful shrines, and scenic ocean viewpoints that highlight Cambodia’s deep resilience and heritage.
