PHUC AM PAGODA

Phuc Am Pagoda is located in Phuc Am village, Ngoc Hoi commune, Hanoi City. The pagoda is situated in a famous traditional craft village, about 20 km south of the capital center.
Phuc Am Pagoda was ranked as a city-level relic in 2026 under Decision No. 882/QD-UBND dated February 27, 2026.
Phuc Am Pagoda mainly worships the Buddha statue system according to the Northern Buddhism (Mahayana) sect. The pagoda has a structure of "Front Buddha, rear Saint", with a separate Mother Goddess worship house, suitable for the folk beliefs characteristic of the Northern Delta region. Because Phuc Am village is famous for making votive paper offerings for spiritual rituals (especially animal effigies such as elephants and horses for temples and shrines), the local pagoda also plays an important spiritual role for those practicing this craft.
In terms of architecture, the pagoda bears strong traditional architectural features of the old Kinh Bac and Upper Son Nam regions, with a rich system of statues and exquisite wood carvings. The pagoda is not only a place for religious activities but also a "spiritual support" for the Phuc Am votive paper craft village - known as the largest "capital of the underworld" in the North. Every year, traditional festival activities take place here, attracting visitors from all over to pray for peace and learn about the beauty of spiritual culture associated with the village's unique handicraft products.
