Tằng My Communal House - Pagoda

The Tằng My Communal House - Pagoda relic is located within the grounds of the Tằng My Village Cultural House, Phúc Thịnh Commune, Hanoi City.

Over the years of its existence, in 1949, Tằng My communal house and pagoda were destroyed during the resistance war. In 1990, the villagers contributed their labor and money to rebuild a small pagoda as a place of worship. In 1994, the people rebuilt the communal house. In 2014, the people continued to contribute to renovating the main pagoda, the Ancestor Hall and the Mother Goddess Hall, making them spacious and keeping the architecture unchanged to this day.

During the anti-French resistance war, from before the August Revolution until 1949 when the scorched-earth resistance policy was carried out, Tằng My communal house and pagoda was one of the sites associated with local revolutionary resistance events. This place was once an operating site for revolutionary propaganda cadres. The stupa tomb of the Tằng My Pagoda monk was the location of a secret mailbox during the anti-French resistance war. After the success of the August Revolution, the communal house was a meeting place for national salvation organizations, the resistance administrative committee, and an operating place for soldiers and guerrillas.
