Ngai Khe Pagoda
Introduction
Ngai Khe Pagoda is a Buddhist architectural work bearing strong imprints of the Nguyen era, built according to the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. The pagoda has a pure and solemn space and is closely associated with the cultural and religious life of local people over many generations.
The main architecture of the pagoda consists of the Front Hall and the Upper Hall connected to each other in a linear layout, shaped like the character Nhat. The buildings have tiled roofs and wooden frames, demonstrating traditional construction techniques such as stacked beams, upper stacked beams, and lower paneling. The Front Hall and the Upper Hall are separated by an arched wall system, creating a harmonious connection between the worship spaces.
Besides the Tam Bao area, where the Buddha is worshipped, the pagoda also has a three-bay Mau house, contributing to a rich and balanced architectural complex. The pagoda currently preserves a system of Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues, and many valuable relics, reflecting the history of the relic's formation and development.
With its ancient beauty, peaceful space, and distinctive cultural and artistic values, Ngai Khe Pagoda is not only a place for local people's religious activities but also a suitable destination for visitors to learn about ancient pagoda architecture and local cultural traditions. In 2007, the pagoda was ranked as a provincial-level relic, now at city level; together with the communal house, it forms the Ngai Khe Communal House - Pagoda relic complex.
