Steady Progress in the Restoration of Chorm Temple

Preserving the Past for Future Generations
In the heart of Cambodia, the historic Chorm Temple stands as a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage. Now, thanks to a collaborative effort between the APSARA National Authority, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and the Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation (KCHF), the temple's restoration is well underway, with significant strides made towards its preservation.

**Restoration Efforts in Motion**

Led by Korean architect Eo Jinkyu, the restoration project is focused on reinforcing the temple's foundation, a crucial step in ensuring its stability and longevity. Despite facing challenges such as extensive damage and the complexity of reassembling salvaged stones, the team has made remarkable progress over the past seven months.

**A Path Towards Preservation**

With approximately 80% of the new foundation installed and ongoing efforts to repair damaged stones, the restoration of Chorm Temple signifies a commitment to preserving Cambodia's cultural legacy. Despite temporary setbacks caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, work has continued steadfastly, highlighting the dedication of all involved to safeguard this historic site for future generations.
