Nom Pagoda

About this location

Nom Pagoda – A Heritage Space of Architecture and Terracotta Sculpture Art Nom Pagoda (Linh Thong Co Tu), located in Nom Village, Dai Dong Commune, Van Lam District, Hung Yen Province, is a prominent cultural and historical heritage site in the Northern Delta region. It impresses visitors with its serene atmosphere, shaded by ancient trees, and traditional architectural complexes such as the three-way gate (tam quan), bell tower, and drum tower. The unique value of over 128 ancient terracotta Buddha statues, whose intricate details remain intact, is truly remarkable. The sanctum spaces, featuring warm tones of wood and terracotta, provide a wonderful contrast for static shots and detailed close-ups of handicraft artistry. The tiled courtyard and moss-covered pond provide rich material for wide shots that capture the depth of traditional spirituality without requiring expensive set construction. Thanks to the preservation of its sculptural art and nostalgic atmosphere, Nom Pagoda is a perfect match for period films, historical dramas, and cultural documentaries.
