Nhue Ho Pagoda (Quang Phuc Pagoda)

Nhue Ho Pagoda has a history of about 400 years. As the preserved system of restored stone stele of the pagoda shows, on February 20, the 17th year of Chinh Hoa (1696), the pagoda was restored and repaired. So at least the temple must have existed before this time. According to old people, although it is a village pagoda, Nhue Ho Pagoda has always been cared for and repaired by village officials. The merit stele also records that at the end of the 17th century, many people offered money and land to donate merit to the temple. In 1786, mandarin Nhue Ho contributed to renewing the old temple, planting many trees to make the pagoda more airy. Master Hai Nha, from Quynh Coi, Thai Binh, donated 7 acres of fields to make incense and fire fields. On December 15, the 14th year of Minh Menh (1833), the elders, people of Nhue Ho and the abbot put in 15 strings of green money to cover the Buddha statue...

Up to now, the pagoda still retains the ancient and quiet features of an ancient pagoda with an architecture including a worship hall in the shape of the letter T, 5 front halls, a back hall, a kitchen, a beer garden, a tower and a communal house. The new village tutelary god was built in the style of pre-Buddha and post-god gods. Currently, Nhue Ho Pagoda still preserves 98 ancient artifacts. The most precious of these is the unique Buddha statue system, including 15 statues made of terracotta material from the Le Dynasty.
