Quán Bến

Quán Bến is a relic founded from the Lê dynasty or earlier, a place maintaining the worship of Đỗ Tướng công – Đỗ Bí, who had merits for the country and the village in the Lê dynasty, was revered by the people, and was granted royal edicts by many generations of kings and lords. Quán Bến is located on the left bank of the Bùi River at a position next to Nguyễn Văn Trỗi Street, facing southwest, and includes the following items: Nghi môn, bình phong, and the shrine. In particular, the nghi môn is built with pillars and low walls in traditional style; from the large central pillar opening to both sides are low walls embossed with war elephant images and walls creating parallel decorative figures; dotted on the wall sections are rectangular stone steles summarizing the battles at Tốt Động. The screen is decorated with a rectangular shape perforated with the character Thọ pattern; on top it creates two dragons flanking the moon, and on both sides lantern-shaped pillars are built. The shrine has a Đinh-character layout including: tiền tế and hậu cung. The tiền tế includes 3 bays, blind-gable wall style, and a roof covered with ri tiles. In the middle of the roof is a decoration of two dragons flanking the moon. At the end of the stepped strip, it creates a throne-hand style. From the connecting strip toward the front, a traditional-style biểu pillar is created with a top of four clustered phoenixes, a lantern cell embossed with four sacred animals, the body inscribed with Chinese couplets, in the cổ bông style; inside, the truss sets of the bays are linked in different styles. The hậu cung is of blind-gable wall style; this is a sacred space arranged with many worship objects of the relic. The components are made of concrete and embossed with decorative dragon patterns.
