Lầu Tứ Phương Vô Sự (Tu Phuong Vo Su Floor), Hue

Lầu Tứ Phương Vô Sự (Lau Tu Phuong Vo Su) is one of the 4 crescent emplacements of the Imperial City and is the only one located in the Forbidden Purple City. It was originally built in 1804, at the same time with the East, South and West crescent emplacements but soon it was abandoned and ruined. Under the reign of Emperor Khai Dinh, in 1923 the North crescent emplacement was built from scratch, mixing Asian and European architectural styles. Unfortunately, it only existed 45 years; in 1968 it was seriously damaged. In 2010 the Lau Tu Phuong Vo Su has opened its doors, after 20 months of hard restoration work, so that today you can admire this architectural masterpiece.
