Shrine (Phuc Khe Temple)

Phuc Khe Shrine, also known as a temple Phuc Khe, located in Phuc Khe village, Bot Xuyen commune, former My Duc district, now in Phu Cuong village, Phuc Son commune. This is the place of worship for Princess Bach Hoa Tien Dung, Supreme National Mother is the eighteenth daughter of King Hung. The title “Supreme National Mother” expresses the community’s special reverence for a goddess who rendered service to the people and the country, while also reflecting the important role of the image of women in spiritual life and the traditional culture of venerating figures from the Hung King era in Vietnamese culture.

Over time, Phuc Khe Temple has become an important cultural and religious activity space for local people. This place is not only a site for respectfully offering incense in memory of Princess Bach Hoa Tien Dung, but also a place where the community entrusts wishes for a peaceful, prosperous, and happy life. The legendary stories about her, although transmitted mainly through memory and folk narration, still contribute to enriching spiritual life, fostering pride in origins, and educating today’s generations to appreciate the history and traditions of their homeland. Phuc Khe Temple therefore has not only spiritual significance but is also a cultural vestige that helps preserve community identity and the wellspring of Vietnamese folk culture. The shrine (Phuc Khe Temple) was ranked as a National-level relic in 1991.

With the attention of higher authorities, the shrine (Phuc Khe Temple) is currently undergoing restoration and embellishment.
