Abstract: English summary on page 30 as follows: The Keo Temple (Than Quang) at Duy nhat vilage, Vu thu district, Thai binh province was build in 1630 and restored many times. The most outstanding relic of the first construction of keo buddhist temple is the word flaps of the door at the three-entrance gate-2m height, 2,6m width - with the carvings of dragon's figure, a typical design of the 17th century. The other buildings show a style of architectural art of the 18th century as the rafters supporting "two rooves on the eve" and the linking pillar by short beam aid one on the other. The anterior - house building was build separately in the 19th century. According to the authors, the architectural remains of the Keo Temple belong principally to the 18th century. This date is also proved by the concord of Vietnamese traditional architectural art with chinese elements popular in Vietnamese at that time.
