Ba Thon Communal House
Introduction
Ba Thon Communal House is the common place of worship for the three tutelary gods of Lien Bat Village. According to historical documents and folk legends, the ancient land of Lien Bat (now Ung Thien Commune) was the encampment of three Great Kings of the Dang family – people who made great contributions to teaching the people to reclaim land, develop production, learn writing, and join the people in resisting foreign invaders and protecting the homeland.
Ba Thon Communal House is a religious and cultural work of special value, closely associated with the history of the formation and development of Lien Bat Village.
Ba Thon Communal House was built in the Dinh-shaped layout and bears strong imprints of Nguyen dynasty architecture. The entire grounds are enclosed by solid walls, with a large, tall, and sturdy communal house gate in front. The front hall has 5 compartments and is used for ceremonies and fully furnished with ritual objects. The system of large wooden columns hangs many parallel sentences praising the merits of the deity, contributing to the solemn and ancient atmosphere of the communal house space. The rear sanctuary has 3 compartments.
Ba Thon Communal House was ranked as a historical and cultural relic in 1988 by the People's Committee of the former Ha Son Binh Province.
