History also records that, Linh Ung Tu was built in the 19th century and embellished at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1951, there was a major restoration and construction of the Three Jewels building with a matching roof.
In December 1972, the pagoda was heavily damaged by US planes, but a few months later it was heavily repaired. In 1990, the pagoda continued to be embellished with the Buddha hall and paved the ground for the Mother and Ancestral houses.

At Linh Ung Pagoda, in addition to the Buddha hall, there is also a altar to worship Saint Tran, ie Hung Dao King Tran Quoc Tuan. In the Mother Church, there are statues of the Holy Mother of God and the Hoang Bay and Hoang Muoi. On June 21, 1993, the pagoda was classified as a national historical and cultural relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism).
It is known that in the past, Linh Ung Tu had been encroached on a part of land by surrounding households. Even the two side gates of Tam Quan have turned into a barber shop and motorbike repair shop.
In 2016, the pagoda was recovered the old campus area and restored with many new changes. The buildings are all built with a gable wall with a table door. In general, the temple still retains the design in the architectural style of the Nguyen Dynasty.
Tam Quan is now open to the south, including 3 archways, on the top is a steeple with 2 floors and 8 roofs, on the right there is a side gate. Behind the side gate is the 5-room Mother Church, looking at the side of the Tam Bao.
The main street is 3 compartments 2 wide, built in the style of a roof stacked with matches, connected to the upper hall in the shape of a mallet. A narrow yard from the back of Tam Bao is the rear of the To worshiping hall, also 3 compartments, but lower and smaller.
In addition to the hammock doors and beautiful sets of Buddha statues such as Cuu Long and Di Da Tam Ton, Linh Ung Pagoda still preserves two ancient statues dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries.
In particular, the statue of Saint Tran wearing a Binh Thien hat, wearing a long robe, sitting on a throne painted vermilion and gilded with dragon heads is delicately carved in the art style of the 19th century.
