One Pillar Pagoda

The One Pillar Pagoda was original built by Emperor Ly Thai Tong to commemorate the long awaited birth of an heir in 1049. The Emperor believed that the luck had been foretold in a dream about the Goddess of Mercy handing him a male child on a lotus flower. He then built the original small wooden pagoda to resemble a lotus blossom to pay tribute to his good fortune.

Unfortunately, the original One Pillar Pagoda was destroyed during the French War. The new Vietnamese government rebuilt the temple in 1955.
