The Shrine of Than Quy is dedicated to Dong Hai Dai Vuong Doan Thuong, Trung Thanh Pho Te Dai Vuong, Princess Huyen Tran, and her consort Khac Chung.
The shrine comprises several structures: the Gate, the Main Hall, and the Rear Chamber. The Main Hall consists of five compartments and two lean-tos, built in the style of a closed-end wall with thin tiles covering the two flowing roofs. The beams in the upper structure are adorned with embossed patterns… The Rear Chamber is a three-compartment structure connected to the middle compartment of the Main Hall, forming a “丁” (ding) shape.
Due to the deteriorated condition of the shrine, the city allocated VND 15.6 billion for its restoration and conservation in September 2023.
During the restoration process, each detail was carefully dismantled and assessed for quality, and every phase underwent meticulous inspection to ensure both quality and aesthetics. The project has now been completed.
On November 17, 2024, the People’s Committee of Minh Tan Commune organized the inauguration ceremony for the restoration and conservation of the National Historical and Artistic Architectural Monument, the Shrine of Than Quy.
The shrine has been put into use, fulfilling the spiritual and religious needs of the local people.
