2. History of formation
According to the stele currently placed on the right side of the rear sanctuary, the temple was repaired and the rear deities were installed in the 5th year of Duy Tân (1911).
During the resistance wars against the French and the Americans, the temple witnessed many sons of the Thọ Xuân homeland setting off to fight and defend the Fatherland.
The site has been gradually restored and embellished by local people to become more spacious, especially during major renovations in 2004 and 2005.
