Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey is a 10th century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor in Cambodia. It lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom. Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art.
女王廟又稱女王宮，位於柬埔寨大吳哥東北約25公里荔枝山（Phnom Dei）旁的一座印度教寺廟，供奉著婆羅門教三大天神之一的濕婆。建於967年的羅真陀羅跋摩（Rajendravarman）王朝，而於1002年的闍耶跋摩五世（Jayavarman V）王朝完成。該廟以硃色砂岩構成，充滿精緻的浮雕，有「吳哥藝術寶石」之稱。規模與尺寸較其它吳哥古跡的建築為小，一般認為即是「女人的城堡」之名稱由來。
