Thanh Am Temple is located at the end of the village on a turtle-shaped piece of land, ranked as a National Monument by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) since 1995. The structure has the "Nhi" letter architecture, including the following items: Nghi Mon, main temple (Upper Temple, Lower Temple), custodian house, guest house, model house, screen and auxiliary works. Over a long period of time, affected by nature, many items have seriously degraded, with cracked walls, sagging roofs, broken columns, posing potential safety risks.

Faced with that situation, the People's Committee of Ung Hoa district proposed and was approved by the Hanoi People's Council to support the restoration and embellishment of the relic according to Resolution No. 02/NQ-HDND dated April 8, 2025.

The implementation process is carried out strictly, in compliance with the provisions of the Law on Public Investment, the Law on Cultural Heritage and the Law on Construction. The invested items include: the four-pillar gate, the main temple, the screen, the guardian house, the guest house, the kitchen - toilet and the synchronous technical infrastructure system.

At the same time, the Chairman of the Commune People's Committee requested the Party Committee, the government and the people to continue to coordinate in managing and protecting the relic according to regulations, promoting cultural, religious and spiritual values; at the same time, implementing the public and transparent use of revenue from donations and sponsorships.
