Description
You cannot help but be overawed at the first sight of the Minh Mang Tomb roof in the old capital city of Hue in Vietnam. The elaborate carvings are extraordinary and the tiling is so beautiful.
Minh Mang Tomb is the most famous attraction in Hue. The Tomb was built in 1840 under the order of Emperor Minh Mang, so Minh Mang Tomb is well-known as the most beautiful and majestic tomb of Nguyen Dynasty.
Emperor Minh Mạng (1820-1841), the second ruler of the Nguyễn Dynasty, ruled southern and central Vietnam from 1820 to 1841. From the capital at Hué, he implemented an extensive building program, which included construction of his own funeral complex in the southwest corner of the city. Ta Tung Tu, a wooden structure built in a traditional architectural style with three main sections and two wings, is part of Minh Mạng’s mausoleum complex. It was built between 1841 and 1843, during the reign of Minh Mang’s successor, Thiệu Trị, as the temple of worship.
Years of deterioration had taken their toll on the structure, which was included on the World Monuments Watch in 1996 and 2000. High humidity had caused a multitude of structural issues: the building materials were failing, termites had infested the wood, and fungus was growing quickly. The pavilion was dismantled and repaired from the foundations up. The floor, ceiling, and columns between were restored and moisture-proofed.
