This is an ancient artistic architectural work associated with the history and culture of seafaring, especially the custom of worshiping the god Nam Hai (fish - whale) of fishermen in Binh Thuan province in general and Phan Thiet. in particular. According to the beliefs of seafaring residents in the South Central region in particular and Vietnamese people in general, Ong fish is the water god who often appears to help them whenever they encounter storms or accidents at sea, so people People who go to the beach revere the Ong fish, considering it a guardian deity.

Returning to the story of Van Thuy Tu palace, according to ancient documents, this palace was established in the year of Nham Ngo (1762) to worship the Ong fish. At first, the palace was just a wooden house with a thatched roof, then it was gradually renovated with brick walls and a yin-yang tiled roof with a total area of ​​about more than 500 square meters.

This place is also one of the ancient relics with a large number of ordinations bestowed by the Nguyen Dynasty kings. Because according to old history, in the past, when fighting with the Tay Son Dynasty, the Nguyen Dynasty's generals were rescued many times by whales at sea.

In the grounds of Van Thuy Tu palace, there is a large area of ​​land called Ngoc Lan Holy Land, used to bury the whale whenever he died and drifted in from the sea. According to custom, the fisherman who sees the "grandfather" first becomes his "eldest son", and this person is responsible for taking care of the funeral carefully, mourning after three years. This shows a strange custom of fishermen regarding Ong fish according to beliefs similar to relationships between people. In particular, in the Van Thuy Tu palace, a skeleton of the Ong whale, the longest and largest species of gray-backed whale in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, is currently being kept and worshiped, with the length and weight when he was alive. about 22m, 65 tons, preserved with almost no bones missing.
