フランス極東学院
Under the French protectorate, the Văn Miếu - Quốc Tử Giám was registered as a "Monument historique" in 1906. During the period of 1945–1954, the French demolished parts of the temple to make additional room for the Saint Paul Hospital since hospital capacity was full during times of war. Campaigns of restoration were pursued in 1920 and 1947 under the responsibility of École française d'Extrême-Orient (French School of the Far East).
