Miếu Đầm

Miếu Đầm, also known as Miếu Đức Thánh Đầm, is a relic associated with the cultural and religious life of the people of Mễ Trì, Hà Nội. The relic is located within the grounds of the National Convention Center, near the Mễ Trì overpass. The temple worships Đức Thánh Đầm, a deity revered by the local community and associated with legends about ponds and fishing.

According to legend, the deity appeared in the form of a white snake, was raised by an old fisherman, then returned to the pond and assisted the people. These folk stories reflect the desire for protection, favorable weather, and a prosperous life. The historical value of the relic is shown through a system of 18 royal edicts from the Lê and Nguyễn dynasties, kept at Mễ Trì Hạ Communal House. Among them, the earliest edict dates to the second year of Vĩnh Khánh, i.e. 1730, and is an important document on the worship of Đức Thánh Đầm.

In 2005, the temple was restored with investment alongside the construction of the National Convention Center. Through many generations, the relic remains a place where local people place their faith and preserve the tradition of worshipping the gods of their homeland. Visiting Miếu Đầm, tourists have the opportunity to learn about the folk stories and spiritual cultural values of the Mễ Trì area.
