Tho Thap Temple was built on an ancient site called "Ke Vong", the place associated with thousands of years of building the nation and defending it against invaders. The famous temple dates back to the late Le Dynasty (1428-1789) and worships two gods who were the Great Lord Chu Ly and the Great Lord Trieu Chi Thanh.
Playing an important role in the spiritual life of the locals, Tho Thap Temple preserves fine cultural heritages of the nation as well as being a Vietnamese revolution relic. In 2008, Tho Thap Temple was recognized as a local historical relic by the Hanoi People's Committee.

The wooden structures were scorched, most of the artifacts were burned or damaged. Currently, the worship items at the relic are stored elsewhere.
