Generations of descendants of the Tran Quoc family have made many contributions to their homeland and country. From the two resistance wars to the period of national construction, the Tran Quoc family has had 16 children who have made Ha Tinh history famous, becoming shining examples for descendants to follow.
With its outstanding cultural and historical values, in 2018, Tran Quoc family temple was ranked as a provincial historical and cultural relic. This is not only a place for descendants of the family to remember their roots but also a meaningful address for local history education.
Tran Quoc family temple was built during the 14th year of King Bao Dai's reign (1939). The interior of the temple consists of 3 rooms with 3 altars arranged with similar worship items.
The middle altar worships the ancestor of the Tran Tuong Cong family (aka Tran Quoc Chan). Mr. Tran Quoc Chan - the 30th generation descendant, is the ancestor of the Tran Quoc family and was appointed by the Le Trung Hung dynasty to hold the position of Thi Tuong Thi Lang of Hoang Long Palace.
Next to the church is the stele house and the ancestral mausoleum built in the style of a stele house placed on a round concrete pillar.
In particular, recently, to preserve the sacred spiritual values associated with the process of formation, development and contribution of the family to the homeland and country, descendants have built the "Traditional House of the Tran Quoc Family and the family of the patriarch" in the grounds of the Tran Quoc family temple.
The traditional house displays more than 100 photos and nearly 80 documents, artifacts, and images of the Tran family in the historical flow of Ich Hau commune with 3 main themes: homeland and origin; family tradition; honor, pride, and looking towards the future.
