Le Van Duyet Temple

Le Van Duyet was credited by Emperor Gia Long for helping to suppress the Tay Son Rebellion. However, after his death, he was repudiated by Emperor Minh Mang, but his honor was restored in the 1840, which was when the temple was built to honor him.

The main sanctuary of the temple has no statues, except that of Le Van Duyet. This is to remind the worshippers that they are worshipping a mortal. The general's personal effects, such as weapons, crystalware and even a stuffed tiger, are in the temple.

Today Le Van Duyet temple has grown into a complex of buildings, pavilions and cloisters.

Location

1 Bis Phan Dang Luu Street, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
