History and Significance
The temple is dedicated to Trương Định (1820–1864). He went down in history as a symbol of courage: on the night of August 19–20, 1864, following a betrayal, French troops surrounded his position. The hero was severely wounded, but refusing to surrender, he made the ultimate sacrifice at the age of 44.
Architecture
The complex was built in 2007 and covers an area of over 26,000 square meters at the foot of Dau Voi Mountain. The building faces north. Inside are altars and memorial objects depicting the life and work of the hero.
Recognition
In 2014, the temple was awarded the status of a provincial monument, and in 2023, the site was officially recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam as a national monument.
