| Existing for hundreds of years, the monument's structures have all deteriorated, of which the upper hall is the most severely damaged. This is a two-room house designed in the style of a gong rack with a curved roof and roofed with yin-yang tiles. Photo: Huy Thu |

| The wooden frame inside the main hall is beautifully carved. Structures such as the gong stand and the gong bars are all rotten and severely damaged by termites. Photo: Huy Thu |

| The gong stand and the multi-petal lotus pedestal have been eaten away by termites. The upper end of the carriage has a broken mortise, seemingly only loosely attached to the gong stand... Visiting the relic, visitors cannot help but feel saddened by the deterioration of the structure. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Mr. Tran Van Lieu (89 years old) - the caretaker of Danh village temple relic said: In the past 15 years, the upper temple has been repaired twice, the most recent time was about 8-9 years ago.

| Not only the upper and lower floors were also severely damaged, especially the corners of the house, the wooden parts were soaked with water, termites, and rotten... Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| On the left corner of the front roof of the lower hall, some structures have broken mortises, separated from the house pillars or are not in their original positions. Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| Around the roofs of the lower and upper halls, in many places, tiles were broken and fell off, leaving wooden structures such as rafters, rafters, and water barriers exposed to the sun. Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| Because the yin-yang tiles have collapsed in rows, creating many leaks on the roofs, every time it rains heavily, rainwater flows through these leaks into the house... Mr. Tran Van Lieu shared: Seeing the relics degraded, we also feel heartbroken, we really hope that the authorities and departments at all levels will pay attention and have a timely repair plan.
