Prasat Muang Kack is one of the Khmer monuments.
It was built for a Hindu God, Shiva, in the 10th century A.D.
The monument facing north consists of three main buildings.
The main materials are brick and sandstone.

There are two bases of smaller buildings located out side.

This monument scale is smaller than "Phimai", but it is enclosed by double walls.
In 1990, the Fine Art Department has restored Prasat Muang Kack and found a lintel
depicting decorations of Koh Ker style (dated bet. 974 and 972).
The buildings are badly weathered, the frame of entrance and base are only remained.
|
A carving of main ruin's lintel is barely remained.
There is another monument
"Prasat Non Ku"
which is about 600 meters from here.
