Quan Soi Temple
Introduction
The relic is located at the edge of the village, in the middle of the farming fields of the people of Kham Lam Village. Based on the recollections of the village elders, especially through the system of royal edicts (21 edicts), the deity genealogy, and the remaining architectural structure and artifacts, it is initially assessed that Quan Soi Temple dates from the 12th century, with traditional architecture comprising the Dai Bai (main worship hall) and Hau Cung (rear sanctuary), laid out in a Dinh-shaped plan. With the attention of authorities, Quan Soi Temple has been restored and embellished on the basis of preserving the old architecture and adding some items such as the Nghi Mon (gate), Ta Vu (left side hall), Huu Vu (right side hall), etc. The project was completed in 2026. The temple worships Princess Vinh Hoa, one of the generals of the Trung Sisters, who had the merit of driving out To Dinh's Han army and winning independence for the nation. Through the Dinh, Le, Ly, Tran, and Nguyen dynasties, she was granted the title “Supreme-grade Most Sacred Deity,” with the honorific “Vinh Hoa Tan Cong Binh Khoi Linh Cam Doan Trang Trinh Tiet Tu Hoa Nhan Uyen Ho Quoc Thuong Dang Toi Linh Dai Vuong,” so that the people would worship her forever.
Over the course of time, Quan Soi Temple, together with the communal house and pagoda of Kham Lam Village, has become a complex of relics serving the religious and spiritual needs of the people. In particular, on the village's traditional holidays, Tet, and festivals, the people gather in full numbers, together turning toward their origins with deep gratitude and reverence. With many historical, cultural, and artistic values, Quan Soi Temple was ranked as a provincial-level relic by the People's Committee of the former Ha Tay Province under Decision No. 1958/QD-UB dated December 21, 2005.
