東梅蓬寺是羅真陀羅跋摩二世,下令建造一座湖(東大人工湖),用來調節暹粒河的河水和灌溉農作物。並在湖中心建立東梅蓬寺,供奉溼婆神。此處為歷代國王祭祀祖先之祭壇。目前,這個東大湖已經消失,只可在銘碑以及周達觀的《真臘風土記》中見到文字的記載。
東梅蓬寺建於吳哥城東方,以紅土基座所築成之3階成方形漸層升高的平台。當年是建在大水池中的小島上,與西梅蓬寺對稱。現在水池早就乾涸,寺廟也有多處傾倒。四面皆有階梯可上,階梯兩旁與平台交界處有石獅雕像,整體建築與變身塔極為相像,從寺頂可遠眺到變身塔。第二層平台上有8座小塔成對矗立於東西南北4入口的兩側。另在四角建有藏經閣,除東南角2幢外,餘各1幢。第三層平台為砂岩築成,上頭有5座磚頭堆疊的神塔,主塔立於中間最高最大,其餘四塔立於其四周。
上面坑坑洞洞,是當時候建築的裝飾,聽說都是鑲寶石,哇賽,五座塔裝飾起來,一定很價值連城!!古時候在每塊石頭上裝飾著寶石,後來被人們挖走,現在只留下一個個小洞洞。
拍回來的照片如果不好識別的話,可以用平台轉角上保存仍算不錯的大象雕像來辨別。記得『每一層的四個角落各站著一頭象守護著東梅蓬寺。
