Nguyen Cong Tru Temple has many unique features that few temples in the country have. Previously, Nguyen Cong Tru had erected a house to live and work in this position. In 1856, people instituted Sinh Tuin front of the house to worship Nguyen Cong Tru when he was aliveto express their gratitude to his work. When he died, people built Tien Duong room and Sinh Tubecame the Chinh Cungroom as today. People who do not follow any religion, the Buddhists or the Catholics all come to this temple to sacrifice.

After many restorations, Truy Tu Tu still exist and has been renovated to be beautiful as it is now. The temple was built in the style of “Dinh” letter with a 5-room Tien Duong and a 3-room Hau Cung.

On the 13th is Yet Cao sacrifice, the 14th is Chinh Ky and the 15th is Ta sacrifice. During those holidays, there are women coming to the feast with the Dan Day lute, the simple castanets and sang the Nguyen Cong Tru’s Ca Tru songs.
