According to “Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi”, Mau Temple was built during the Tran Nhan Tong period (1279). Over the dynasties, the temple was restored; in the 8th year of Thanh Thai (1896), Mau Temple was extensively restored to its current scale. In 1990, Mau Temple was recognized as an architectural and artistic relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information.
Mau Temple is a unique relic in the Pho Hien special national relic complex, one of the sacred places of worship in Hung Yen province, attracting the attention of many tourists from all over the country.
The Mau Temple Festival is held from the 10th to the 15th of the third lunar month every year, attracting a large number of local people and visitors from all over the region to attend, worship, and pray for good things and happiness. The ceremony is solemn with a procession and a sacrifice; the festival includes folk games and Chau Van singing. In addition, the 14th of the seventh lunar month is also an important day of the Temple; it is the day of moc duc, which means the day of changing the clothes of the Mau.
