Originally named Dien Huu, which means “long lasting happiness” in ancient Vietnamese, the pagoda was constructed in 1049 as a place for royal family to worship Buddha and Gods. Being built from wood and stone as other Buddhism constructions at that time, however the unique feature of standing on a pillar in the middle of a lake makes its difference.

Along a thousand year of history, the place was reconstructed and repaired many times, but the original architecture and decoration have barely modified. On 4 May, 2006, the pagoda was recorded in Vietnam’s Guinness Book as the pagoda with the most unique architecture.
