Nha Ba Temple is a historical site deeply rooted in the long-standing traditions of Dong Xuan village. According to historical records, the temple was built in the early Nguyen dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Gia Long, and was initially named "Tuong Giang Tu".
In 1853, during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức, the temple was granted a royal decree and became the place of worship for the Three Tản Viên Sơn Thánh deities - the tutelary deities of Đồng Xuân village. In 1886, after the village's shrines were destroyed, the people brought the ancestral tablets and incense burners of the tutelary deities to be worshipped here, and from then on, it has been known as Nhà Bà Temple to this day.
