Phuc Thanh Pagoda

Phuc Thanh Pagoda

Phuc Thanh Pagoda is located on Ngoc Phac Mountain, on the right bank of the Red River. The pagoda currently has two buildings: Thieu Huong and Thuong Dien. According to the stele erected at Thieu Huong Court, Phuc Thanh Pagoda was built in 1145, during the reign of King Ly Anh Tong, in the reign of Dai Dinh. The pagoda was built by Mrs. Phung Thanh, Mrs. Le Thi Xuan Lan, a descendant of King Le Dai Hanh and the fourth wife of King Ly Than Tong. The pagoda is associated with heroic historical events, an example of resilient, indomitable fighting and the noble sacrifice of the daughter of the homeland of King Hung in the fight against the Southern Han invaders. That was the female general Princess Xuan Nuong, a talented general during the uprising of Hai Ba Trung. In the pagoda, there are still many precious artifacts such as the statue of the Monsignor, the statue of Guan Yin Buddha, the statue of the Earth Mother, the statue of the Holy Mother Le Thi Xuan Lan... and some stone relics dating back to the Ly Dynasty. High sculptural value is the stone stele of the 9th year of Chinh Long Bao Ung (1171), the stone for the base of the column, and the stone incense bowl. These relics are rare carvings remaining today. They bear the mark of stone carving art of the Ly Dynasty, expressing the concept of belief and the desire for a peaceful and happy life.
