Krol Ko, which means "Ox Park", is a small temple located on the northern side of the Angkor Archaeological Park. To reach it, take the road that runs between Preah Khan and Ta Som (the road also called the Grand Circuit). About 100 meters before the T-junction to Neak Pean, look for a track on the left side of the road. The track leads northwards for a hundred meters towards the east entrance of Krol Ko.

Krol Ko was built in the Bayon style, meaning it was constructed some time between the late 12th and early 13th centuries, during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. It comprises two concentric enclosures surrounding a sanctuary facing east. The monument is in a state of ruin, with pediments on the ground. The main gopura of the central sanctuary has collapsed.
