The Dinh Cong Ha Communal House - Temple - Pagoda relic complex is a complete complex of belief and religious relics of Dinh Cong Ha village, now in Dinh Cong ward. It is the center of cultural activities for local people. The complex was ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a historical and architectural-artistic relic.
Dinh Cong Ha Communal House dedicated to Cong So and Doan Thuong. The communal house sits on a high mound in the center of the village, with architectural components including a gate, courtyard, left and right corridors, main hall, and rear sanctuary. This is a place where visitors can learn how a communal house is present in the religious life and community activities of a Vietnamese village.
Located next to the communal house, Lien Hoa Pagoda is a place of Buddhist worship. A stone stele at the pagoda records renovations in 1739, while the bronze bell bears the reign title Tu Duc 22nd year (1869). These milestones help viewers imagine the process of preserving the pagoda through many generations. The communal house and pagoda are close to each other in the layout “front deities, rear Buddha”; together with Dam Sen Temple, the three structures form a linked complex while still having their own worship functions.
About 200 m from the communal house, Dam Sen Temple dedicated to Empress Phuong Nghi. According to the relic records, the temple is located like a small island in the middle of a lotus pond — a position that gives a distinctive feature to the worship space. Stories about the worshipped figure are passed down in local hagiographies; visitors should receive them as part of folk memory and belief.
