Wat
Chùa Cũ (Vĩnh Xuân)
Chùa Cũ (Chùa Sang Chrova) is a Khmer Theravada Buddhist Wat in Trà Sơn hamlet, Vĩnh Xuân commune, Vĩnh Long, Vietnam.[1]
History
The Wat dates to 1548 and has had 14 successive abbots. Its area belonged to Hựu Thành commune before the 2025 mergers. During the French and American wars it served as a meeting place and a shelter for revolutionary cadres. On October 19, 2014, the provincial People's Committee recognized it as a provincial-level historic site.[1]
Religious life
As of 2026, the abbot was Đại đức (Venerable) Thạch Đom Ra, and the Wat served about 500 Khmer households as a religious and cultural center.[1] It holds Buddhist and Khmer-language classes for monks and Khmer youth and hosts Chôl Chnam Thmây (Khmer New Year), Sene Dolta (the festival for ancestors) and Ok Om Bok. Lay followers provide meals for the monks during the three-month rainy-season retreat. At the start of the 2026 to 2027 school year the Wat gave 200 gift packages and cash to students.[1]
