Y La Temple was founded in 1743, the 4th year of Canh Hung and was restored at the beginning of the nineteenth century. According to legend, Ha temple worshipped Princess Phuong Dung due to the serious burning of the temple soldiers, the residents had to take the idol to Huy La village to take refuge. In 1817, the 3rd year of Khai Dinh started the reconstruction of Ha temple on the old location but on a larger scale. At that time, at the site of the refuge statue, the villagers of Y La also built the Mau Y La temple to worship Princess Phuong Dung, (who is considered the incarnation of the holy Mother Thuong Thien) along with the gods and spirits in the belief of worshipping Vietnamese Mother.
