The Tomb of Emperor Dục Đức (Vietnamese: Lăng Dục Đức), officially the An Mausoleum (An Lăng, chữ Hán: 安陵) is a tomb complex in Huế, Vietnam, in which are buried Dục Đức and his wife, his son Thành Thái, his grandson the child-emperor Duy Tân, and several other members of Vietnam's last dynasty, the Nguyễn dynasty, such as the queen mother Nguyễn Thị Định (mother of Duy Tân).[1][2]
Duy Tân was buried in the tomb compound in 1987.[3]
The mausoleum has two sections - the tomb itself and Long An shrine.[4]
