Trieu Mieu was the first temple built in the Hue Royal Citadel (1804). It worships Nguyen Kim – the ancestor of the nine Nguyen Lords and the following Nguyen Kings.
While it was maintained for just few times over the last two decades, the latest restoration was made over 30 years ago (from 1983 to 1985), leading to the serious degradation.
At the project inauguration ceremony on September 15, Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre, appreciated the AFCP’s assistance to the preservation of Trieu Mieu. The fund is also supporting the restoration of royal alters at the temple.
