History

The Temple is devoted to the two Ba Trung, two heroines who achieved great distinction fighting against foreign aggressors, securing independence for the country and adding a lustrous page to the nation’s history.

Two ladies’ heroic uprising against the ruling Chinese lasted 3 years and was then defeated. However this uprising is an event of great significance as it left a bright example to later generations. People built many temples to honour them, the most famous are three temples, Hat Mon (Hát Môn) Temple, Ha Loi (Hạ Lôi) Temple (in Vinh Phuc province), and Dong Nhan (Đồng Nhân) Temple.
