Tang Tho Lau (No. 344 Dinh Tien Hoang St., Hue City) was constructed in 1825, under the reign of Emperor Minh Mang with the function of being a national document storage. The work was designed in scientific architecture to store and preserve important records, documents, and papers of the court at that time. This was a rare “Archive Pavilion” of the monarchy period that have been preserved quite intactly in Hue.
In 2021, Hue Monuments Conservation Center put this historical relic into operation to establish a center to store documents and research about Hue cultural heritage.
