Kim Trúc Pagoda, Bát Tràng

Kim Trúc Pagoda, Bát Tràng (located in Bát Tràng Village, Bát Tràng Commune) is a City-level ranked relic under Decision No. 5189/QĐ-UBND dated July 30, 2002. The ancient grand pagoda serves as the core Buddhist spiritual anchor of the residents of Bát Tràng pottery village through many prosperous centuries. The pagoda has an imposing, solemn architectural campus and fully preserves a system of antiquities of outstanding historical and artistic value, including a unique system of terracotta Buddha statues, bronze bells cast during the Nguyễn dynasty, and a series of ancient steles recording merits in land reclamation and development of the traditional craft. Through historical ups and downs, the site has always been strictly preserved by the local community, maintaining its traditional wooden structure. The relic is not only a space for worship and serene practice but also a vivid testament to the process of cultural acculturation and economic trade tied to the flow of ceramics along the Red River, making an important contribution to the distinctive tangible cultural heritage identity of the capital Hanoi.
