Gia Thuy Communal Temple

Gia Thuy Communal Temple & Ancestral Tomb Mound is a historical-cultural relic ranked at national level under Decision No. 2009/QD dated December 5, 1991.

Gia Thuy Communal Temple worships four sacred spirits - four brothers, four talented generals of An Duong Vuong: First Trung Thanh, Second Dong Luong, Third Thong Vinh, Fourth Quy Nuong.

In 1964, Gia Thuy village communal temple was demolished to expand Gia Lam Airport to serve the resistance war against American imperialism. After the temple was dismantled, the people of Gia Thuy village built a house on the foundation of the old school at the beginning of Thuong hamlet to store worship objects.

In 1995, with the agreement of the agricultural cooperative and the full consensus of the people in Gia Thuy village, the house was demolished to rebuild a spacious new communal temple as it is today, true to the value of the village temple as a place of cultural and spiritual activities for the people. Construction of Gia Thuy Communal Temple began on October 20, 1995 (i.e., the 26th day of the 8th lunar month of the Year of the Pig); it was inaugurated on October 2, 1996 (i.e., the 20th day of the 8th lunar month of the Year of the Rat).

The traditional festival of Gia Thuy Communal Temple & Ancestral Tomb Mound is held annually from the 8th to the 10th day of the second lunar month.
