Lam Kinh Main Hall and 5 Thai Mieu buildings (out of 9 buildings) have been restored.
Lam Kinh Special National Relic Site (also known as Lam Son) in the old Tho Xuan district, now Lam Son commune, Thanh Hoa province, is the hometown of national hero Le Loi, the birthplace of the Lam Son uprising to drive out the Ming invaders (1418-1428) and also the place of ancestor worship and eternal resting place of the Emperors and Queen Mothers of the Later Le dynasty.
In 1962, Lam Kinh Historical Relic was ranked at the National level. On September 27, 2012, the Prime Minister issued a decision to recognize Lam Kinh Historical, Cultural and Architectural Relic as a Special National Relic.
According to historical records, in 1428, Le Loi ascended the throne (Le Thai To), established the Later Le Dynasty, established the capital in Thang Long, and took the reign name Thuan Thien. Along with the construction of Dong Kinh (Thang Long) as the capital of the country, in 1433, Lam Son land was also changed to Tay Kinh (also known as Lam Kinh), the second capital of the Le So Dynasty.
In 1433, Le Thai To passed away and was brought back to his hometown Lam Kinh to be buried in Vinh Lang. From here, Lam Kinh became the Son Lang area. The following kings continued to build Lam Kinh Palace. Over time, Lam Kinh Palace was gradually expanded in scale, becoming the eternal resting place of the family, kings, queen mothers, and queen mothers of the Le So dynasty.
The foundation remains of a remaining Thai temple in Lam Kinh. This is one of the Thai temples that will be restored in the near future.
Nearly 6 centuries have passed, with many ups and downs of the country's history, the harshness of nature and human unconsciousness, Lam Kinh has seriously degraded and become ruins.
With the attention of the Party, State and Thanh Hoa province, many relics have been studied, preserved in their original state, prevented from degradation, many relics have been restored, renovated, and gradually recreated part of the former appearance of Lam Kinh.
Up to now, Lam Kinh has restored Ngoc River, Bach Bridge, West Lake, Nhu Ang Lake, Nghi Mon Gate, Dragon Courtyard, Lam Kinh Main Hall and 5 Thai Mieu buildings, the tombs have also been restored and embellished.

Currently, Lam Kinh still has 4 Thai Mieu buildings (including buildings 1,2,8,9) and Ta Vu, Huu Vu buildings, and the temple of Lady Hang Dau (on the top of Lam Son mountain) that have not been restored.
Legend of Mrs. Hang Dau
Legend has it that during the resistance war against the Ming army, there was a woman from the lowlands who risked her life to go up the mountain to sell oil to the Lam Son camp owner. No one knew her name, only that she sold oil, so they called her Mrs. Dau. To keep it a secret, King Le Loi only allowed the insurgents to buy oil from this woman.
Every day, Mrs. Hang Dau carried oil and necessities to supply the Lam Son insurgents. The Ming army found out and ambushed her. They tortured her, but she did not reveal the secret and they murdered her.
Hearing the touching news about the oil seller's patriotism and feeling grateful to her, Le Loi ordered his soldiers to bring her body to Lam Son mountain for burial, naming that mountain Dau mountain, about 2 km from Lam Kinh.
