In October 1955, Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem deposed Chief of State Bao Dai, established the Republic of Vietnam government and then became President, and officially changed the Palace's name to Independence Palace. In February 1962, after the coup of the Republic of Vietnam army pilot, the Independence Palace was bombed and the entire main left wing was destroyed, unable to be restored. In July of the same year, President Ngo Dinh Diem decided to raze everything and build a new mansion right on the old ground according to the design project of Architect Ngo Viet Thu. In November 1963, the project was unfinished when President Ngo Dinh Diem was assassinated. In October 1966, the new Independence Palace was inaugurated, and the person who presided over and took over this building was Chairman of the National Leadership Committee Nguyen Van Thieu. From October 1967 to April 1975, the Independence Palace became the residence and working place of Second President of the Republic of Vietnam Nguyen Van Thieu.
