Chu Xa Communal House

Chu Xa Communal House (located at Chu Xa Hamlet, Bat Trang Commune) is a national-level historical and artistic architectural relic under Decision No. 993-QD dated September 28, 1990. As one of the most highly valued relics in the new Bat Trang Commune area, the communal house stands on the ancient land of Chu Xa, where Saint Chu Dong Tu is worshipped – one of the "Four Immortals" of Vietnamese spirituality and the origin of the immortal love story of Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung. The communal house has imposing architecture, strongly bearing the artistic imprint of the Le Trung Hung and Nguyen dynasties with a massive ironwood frame system and intricate carved panels. Chu Xa Communal House is the center for organizing a very distinctive traditional festival along the Red River, preserving intact the rituals of water procession and lively ancient dances. According to the 2026 Plan, the communal house is the core for mobilizing a 78-person parade group to perform the national intangible cultural heritage "Worship of Chu Dong Tu" in the center of the capital.
