Constructed during the Tran Dynasty (1225-1400) and expanded in the Le Dynasty (1428-1789), with restorations during the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945), the temple features a unique architectural style that reflects the influences of these periods.
The temple houses a rich collection of artifacts of various shapes, materials, and artistic values.
A standout feature is that it is the only place in Vietnam dedicated to worshiping the Four Holy Mothers, with four statues placed in the upper hall.
According to legend, the Four Holy Mothers protect seafarers, ensuring smooth journeys and safe returns for fishermen.
A festival is held annually at the temple from the 19th to the 21st day of the first lunar month, drawing crowds of locals and tourists.
For many, the temple is a place of faith, especially for those whose livelihoods depend on the sea.
The temple serves not only as a spiritual sanctuary but also as a historical testament to the cause of national building and defense.
It also provides visitors an opportunity to gain insight into the history, culture, and beliefs of the people of Nghe An and Vietnam as a whole.
With its significant historical, cultural, and spiritual values, Con Temple is a must-visit destination./.
