Khue Van pavilion to second courtyard

The second courtyard, looking towards the Khue Van pavilion, which allows entry to the third courtyard.

Called the Pavilion of Constellation (Khue Van Các) it was built in 1805. The architecture includes 4 square brick pillars (85cm x 85cm) supporting the upper attic, with very beautiful wooden structures. It is not too big but the pavilion has unique and harmonious architecture. Pavilion of Constellation has a red elaborate roof with two circular windows and a bronze bell which is only rung on special occasions. Pavilion of Constellation was originally used to hold a review of the beautiful essays from the students who passed the examinations.

The Pavilion of Constellation is a symbol of Hanoi today, a familiar image featured on the back of the 100,000 Vietnamese Dong banknote.
