Linh Tu Quoc Mau Temple is the place to worship Mrs. Tran Thi Dung, the last queen of the Ly Dynasty, wife of King Ly Hue Tong, mother of the only queen in Vietnamese history, Ly Chieu Hoang. After King Ly Hue Tong died, the Tran Dynasty was established, she remarried and became the wife of Grand Tutor Tran Thu Do. Tran Thi Dung's original name was Tran Thi Ngu, she was the daughter of Tran Ly, the younger sister of Tran Thua and Tran Tu Khanh, and the aunt of King Tran Thai Tong (1226 - 1258).
During the resistance war against the Yuan-Mongol army that invaded our country in 1258, she was assigned the task of successfully organizing and implementing the "empty garden and empty house" strategy set by the Tran Dynasty, protecting the royal family and nobles of the Tran Dynasty. At the same time, she also stored and transported food in time for the Dai Viet army to destroy the powerful Yuan-Mongol army. Because of her great contributions, King Tran Thai Tong appointed her as Linh Tu Quoc Mau.
Linh Tu Quoc Mau Temple was recognized as a national historical and cultural relic in 1993. Over the ups and downs of time, many items in the relic have been degraded, affecting the religious activities of the people. In order to meet the requirements of protecting and promoting the historical and cultural values of the relic, with the consensus of the local authorities, the donations of local people, philanthropists and children living far from home, in June 2024, the People's Committee of Lien Hiep commune carried out the restoration of the relic with a total cost of phase 1 of more than 6.3 billion VND. Of which, Hung Hai Group supported 6.2 billion VND, the rest was contributed by the people.
