Location: Quan Thanh Temple is situated in
Quan Thanh Ward, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi.
Characteristic: Quan Thanh Temple is one of the Four Guards of Old Thang
Long. Quan Thanh Temple is an important historical and cultural relic, on a
large and beautiful area by West Lake near the northern gate of old Thang Long
Capital.
It was built during the reign of King Ly Thai To (1010-1028). The temple was
dedicated to Huyen Thien Tran Vo or the God who guarded and administered the
north of the country. That is why it is also known as the Tran Vo Temple or the
Temple of Quan Thanh Tran Vo.
The existing constructions originate from the last renovations that were made in
the 19th century; these renovations included the triple gate, the yard, the
front and central worshipping chambers, and the shrine. A bronze statue, nearly
4m in height and 4 tons in weight, was cast in 1677 and dedicated to the Saint
Huyen Thien Tran Vo.
