Linh Ung Pagoda

Linh Ung Pagoda (Linh Ung Tu), in Sieu Quan Village, Dai Thanh Commune, Hanoi City. The pagoda is situated on a high, dry plot on the bank of the Nhue River.

According to local people, the pagoda was previously at another location; due to flooding, and recognizing this as good land, it was moved to its present site. From the sculptural marks on the architecture, it can be seen that the pagoda was built at the latest by the end of the Le Trung Hung period (18th century).

The pagoda is in an area with many old trees and elegant scenery, comprising the main items: the Three-Entrance Gate, the Front Hall, and the Upper Hall. In addition to the system of Buddha statues, the pagoda also preserves a number of ancient artifacts such as horizontal plaques, couplets, two stone steles, a bronze gong, a bronze bell from the Nguyen dynasty, and some other artifacts.

Linh Ung Pagoda was ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) Historical and Architectural-Artistic Relic at National level in 1994.
