1,000-year-old ancient pagoda receives Provincial Historical Relic Certificate

Nhan Boi Pagoda was built a long time ago, on a land with a long tradition of patriotism and revolution. In 1930 - 1931, the pagoda was the place for activities and meetings of the Bach Truat Party Cell, Bach Ngoc Commune. In early 1952, the French colonialists bombed the commune, and the statue of Uy Minh Vuong Ly Nhat Quang was brought to Nhan Boi Pagoda for preservation.

The pagoda was also a place to store weapons and food, and was also a place for teaching at the Inter-Zone 4 Pedagogical School. At the end of 1952, due to the devastation of the war, all the ancient Buddha statues at Nhan Boi Pagoda were moved to Ba But Pagoda for storage.

During the two resistance wars against France and the US, Nhan Boi Pagoda became a base, a safe zone, a place to order and open military supply factories for the North Central region.

The pagoda was built during the Ly Dynasty, consisting of two buildings, the Front Hall and the Main Hall, made of ironwood. The pagoda is a place to worship Buddhas and is widely welcomed by the people.

Currently, the pagoda is preserving more than 38 artifacts, including 4 ancient artifacts with historical and cultural value such as: tea tray, zither, fruit tray, incense tube.
