Our Cham mosques in Cham architecture style from Kampong Cham. Most of Cham mosques in the past 40 years ago look different from nowadays. Most of those mosques were built in traditional style by woods. Look beautiful and cool. But through the storms and seasons by politicians those mosques are few existed. It's hard to find. Because of those mosques were destroyed by communists and sometimes they used those mosques in general purpose of their administration. After the fall of communism it's time to restoration. But it's still not for any longer to see those when Arabs came to Cambodia. Most of Cham were very poor. So we were replaced our mosques architecture style with the Middle East style. I feel very sad that I would not see these buildings for any longer. Even though Persian Turkish etc. have their own mosque styles.
