Cho Cui Temple, also known as Thanh Mau Linh Tu or Co Doc Linh Tu, was built during the Later Le Dynasty. The temple worships Thanh Mau and Quan Hoang Muoi (a general of the Lam Son uprising army) who had the merit of repelling the invading Ming army.

The temple has a Tam-shaped structure consisting of the following items: the gate, the lower hall, the middle hall and the upper hall. With a history of hundreds of years, although it has undergone several restorations and embellishments, the temple still retains its ancient features.

The architectural layout of Cho Cui Temple is connected together along the sacred axis. The entire inner space is arranged into worshiping palaces from top to bottom, including the Holy Mother Palace (worshiping the Three Palaces), the Five Gods Palace, the Quan Hoang Muoi Palace, the Chau Muoi Palace and the Tran Trieu Palace.
