Lang To Temple

Lang To Temple

Lang To Temple is the place to worship King An Duong Vuong. Legend has it that, in the past, when An Duong Vuong succeeded the Hung Kings, he returned from his ancestral land to Lang To to camp and set up a headquarters, mobilizing people from neighboring provinces to build Co Loa Citadel to successfully fight against the Northern Qin invaders. The To villagers built a temple. According to documents and epitaphs still kept at the temple, the temple was built during the Le Dynasty and underwent many restorations, the largest being during the Nguyen Dynasty. To Temple was built with three gates, an altar, a worship hall and a harem. Relics at the temple are quite rich and diverse, notably the stone stele with the date Canh Thinh (1800) and the system of horizontal panels, parallel sentences, thrones, tablets, and worship statues. To Temple was granted a certificate of historical and cultural relic status by the Hanoi People's Committee in 1999 and on January 29, 2019, it was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with Decision No. 420/QD-BVHTTDL.
