Ban Temple

Ban Temple (address at Kim Lan Village 1, Bat Trang Commune) is a City-level ranked relic with recognition recorded since 2003. Ban Temple is located in the ancient space of Kim Lan Village 1, worshipping the Earth God and the local Tutelary God - the supreme deity protecting the boundaries of the hamlet and village in the ancient land of Kim Lan, a place with a very long and precious archaeological history of ceramics for the nation. Ban Temple has a small architectural scale but is deeply imbued with the traditional folk art of the Red River Delta, with roofs covered in mui hai tiles and surrounded by sturdy ancient brick walls. The system of artifacts and worship objects inside the temple is preserved intact by the village ceremonial committee and strictly and carefully inventoried over many generations. The relic is a profound spiritual gathering place for the people, where they pray for a peaceful life and for the pottery production of the craft village to always prosper.
