(Baonhgean.vn) - The Nguyen Cong family ancestral temple, located in Hamlet 3, Cao Son Commune, Anh Son District, was built in the 22nd year of Chinh Hoa (1701). To date, the site has a history of over 300 years. The temple still preserves many artifacts that are hundreds of years old.

| Mr. Nguyen Cong Tung, Chairman of the Nguyen Cong clan council, said: The ancestral temple was built in 1701, a place of worship for Nguyen Cong Khoi, the founding ancestor of the Nguyen Cong clan in Da Tho village, Dang Son commune, Anh Do district, Nghe An province (now Linh Son commune, Anh Son district, Nghe An province). The temple was built of ironwood and, after more than 300 years, still retains its original architecture. |

| The carvings on the wood are very elaborate and exquisite. |
 |
| After hundreds of years, descendants still preserve the ancient gong used in ceremonial rituals. |
 |
| Currently, the church still preserves two prayer texts, used to record prayers. |
 |
| Today, the church still preserves many precious wooden ceremonial objects such as wooden plates, trays, and bowls, some of which are centuries old and quite exquisitely crafted. This rare ancient church is not only a treasure for the descendants of the family but also a source of pride for the people in the region. |
