Khoan Te Pagoda (Cu Da)

Khoan Te Pagoda (Cu Da) (located in Khoan Te Village, Bat Trang Commune) has been a historical relic ranked at National level since 1996. The ancient Khoan Te pagoda, also known as Cu Da pagoda, is solemnly situated and has a long history of formation, closely associated with the development process of Buddhism in the suburban area of Thang Long. The architecture of Cu Da pagoda is a harmonious combination of solemn worship space and serene natural landscape, creating a secluded and otherworldly Buddhist monastery. The pagoda fully preserves a valuable system of ancient wooden and terracotta Buddhist statues, along with many stone inscriptions of significant age recording restorations and contributions of predecessors. This place is not only a center of religious activities for local monks, nuns, and Buddhists but also an invaluable architectural and artistic heritage that needs to be preserved. The project has always been jointly restored by the state and the people, maintaining the durability of the tall wooden frame structure against time.
