The other buildings show a style of architectural art of the 18th century as the rafters supporting "two rooves on the eve" and the linking pillar by short beam aid one on the other. The anterior - house building was build separately in the 19th century. According to the authors, the architectural remains of the Keo Temple belong principally to the 18th century.
