According to the People's Committee of Ba Dinh District, from November 6 to December 5, 2024, Quan Thanh Temple will enter the stage of restoring the main temple roof tiles and renovating the worshiping objects and interior of the temple; the relic management board will temporarily suspend all activities to welcome tourists and people to visit and worship.
Previously, the People's Committee of Ba Dinh district approved the investment project to build, renovate and embellish the special national relics of Quan Thanh temple and Voi Phuc temple.
The two monuments will be comprehensively restored with the items of the Four Pillars, the Gate, the main temple, the main temple's interior worship items and auxiliary items. The construction time of the project is 300 days from the date of commencement of the handover of the site.
Previously, on July 25, 2024, the construction unit started the restoration and embellishment project at the special national relics of Quan Thanh Temple and Voi Phuc Temple.
During the construction process, the site was limited in terms of renovating items according to the approved design; thus, causing inconvenience to visitors coming to visit and practice their beliefs at the site.
Therefore, to ensure the safety of visitors and ensure the progress and quality of the restoration of artifacts and statues, the Relic Management Board has decided to temporarily close and stop receiving visitors and worshipers at the relic for a period of time.
Quan Thanh Temple is one of the four temples of Thang Long, along with Bach Ma Temple, Voi Phuc Temple and Kim Lien Communal House. The temple was established when Ly Thai To moved the capital to Thang Long (1010). The King ordered the god's tablet to be moved to the northwest of the citadel, called Huyen Thien Tran Vu Dai De Quan. The temple is currently located at the intersection of Thanh Nien Street and Quan Thanh Street, in Thuy Chuong Ward, Vinh Thuan District, south of West Lake.
