Linh Son Co Tu (Linh Son Ancient Pagoda)

About this location

Linh Son Co Tu - A historic temple associated with the patriotic movement in Cao Lanh. Linh Son Co Tu, commonly known as Linh Son Pagoda, is located at 191 Cach Mang Thang 8 Street, Cao Lanh Ward, Dong Thap Province. This is an ancient pagoda tied to the Buddhist life and the patriotic struggle of the local people. In the early 20th century, the temple served as a meeting place and hub for various patriotic scholars, including Vice-President Nguyen Sinh Sac, Nguyen Quang Dieu, and Le Van My. Beyond being a place for religious worship, Linh Son Co Tu bears the historical imprint of a patriotic base during the French colonial resistance. Under the abbotship of Most Venerable Pham Van Ho, the temple served as a gathering spot for intellectuals, scholars, and participants in the revolutionary movement. The temple's architecture reflects traditional Southern Buddhism, featuring worship spaces, a courtyard, and religious facilities that exude a serene atmosphere amidst the residential area of Cao Lanh. The temple grounds offer great shooting angles for the entrance gate, main hall, worship spaces, and traditional Buddhist architectural details. This location is ideal for historical films, documentaries, films about Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac, cultural-spiritual projects, or scenes recreating religious life and the patriotic movement in Southern Vietnam during the early 20th century.
