The Royal Mausoleums edit

 
Trương Định temple

The Gò Công City has many canals, orchards and fields. It is home to an ancient architectural complex called the Lang Hoang Gia (Royal Mausoleums). The mausoleum complex is located in Long Hung Commune in the district's Gò Công Town near National Highway 50, and about 30 kilometers from the province's Mỹ Tho Town. It is the place where people of the Pham Dang lineage, a clan of mandarins and courtiers famous in the southern region in the 18th and 19th centuries, were buried after they died.

The complex edit

The mausoleums for the deceased aristocrats were built facing each other on both sides of a road. The complex covers an area of nearly 3,000 square meters. The complex is surrounded by a wall, 80 centimetres thick and 90 centimetres high. The ancient gate, decorated with immaculate detail, is now covered with sheets of green moss. Two rows of pines form a path to the mausoleums.

Construction edit

The mausoleums were built by locals and skillful carpenters from Huế in the central region. Therefore, the complex reflects a traditional Huế architectural style. Several kinds of precious wood were used in the construction of the mausoleum, mostly brought in from the then feudal capital of Huế. No nails were used to connect the wooden pillars, rafters or roof beams of the complex. Wooden tablets with sacred oriental animals and flowers are carved into the surface of much of the wood, creating a great solemnity inside the mausoleums, while imposing pillars add a majesty to the complex.

The Grand Duke edit

Among the 13 mausoleums built between 1811 and the early 20th century, the mausoleum of Grand Duke Phạm_Đăng_Hưng [vi]—father of Queen Consort Từ Dụ (Phạm Thị Hằng) of the Government of the Nguyễn dynasty (1802–1945) and maternal grandfather of King Tự Đức (1829–1883)—is the most impressive of all. It is located on a mound covering more than 800 square meters and according to local residents, the grand duke was buried in a sitting position inside a two-layered coffin.[2]
