Phuc Loc Pagoda, Hat Mon Commune

PHUC LOC PAGODA - CITY-LEVEL RELIC

Phuc Loc Pagoda, whose literary name is Phuc Loc Tu, is located in Hiep Loc Village, Hat Mon Commune, Hanoi City. This is an ancient pagoda with a long history, closely associated with the cultural and religious life of the local people. According to legend, the pagoda is where the village's Tutelary God Hoang Dao (Hoang Thong) distributed gold to the insurgents and the people before commanding the battle against Ma Yuan's troops on the bank of the Day River.

In 1946, the pagoda was destroyed under the scorched-earth policy during the resistance war. Later, the local people rebuilt the pagoda at the center of the village. Through many restorations and embellishments, especially in 2015 and 2020, the pagoda now has main structures such as the Three Jewels Hall, Ancestor Hall, Mother Hall, pagoda gate, and auxiliary works.

With its outstanding historical, cultural, and religious values, Phuc Loc Pagoda was ranked as a provincial/city-level relic in 1998. It is a place for spiritual and cultural activities, contributing to preserving the traditions and cultural identity of the locality.
