Trường Cơ tomb, the resting place of Nguyễn Hoàng, is now in Kim Long Ward, Huế. The site is associated with the Nguyễn lords and the history of Thuận Hóa–Phú Xuân. Recent reporting noted untidy roadside businesses near its entrance, while compensation and support plans for six affected households have been approved.
Historic walls and architectural features
Nguyễn Hoàng lived from 1525 to 1613. Initially buried at Thạch Hãn in Quảng Trị, he was later reinterred at the present site, about 300 metres from the Tả Trạch River. Emperor Gia Long named it Trường Cơ, and further repairs followed under Minh Mạng.
The outer enclosure has a circumference of about 156 metres and stands over 2.5 metres high. The inner wall extends nearly 70 metres and exceeds two metres in height. Brick-and-mortar burial structures, an altar and decorated screens remain defining features.
Earlier restoration and current work
The tomb received national heritage status in 1998. In 2016, the Huế Monuments Conservation Centre and Nguyễn Phước family council restored it with more than VND 3.8 billion in contributed funding. Works covered gates, walls, screens, the tomb, altar, semicircular pond, gardens and drainage.
The current six-household information comes from the South Hương River construction-project management board under the second phase of the Huế citadel conservation programme. Approval of compensation is a procedural step. The report does not confirm completed relocation or finished improvements around the tomb, which remain distinct from the 2016 restoration.
