Dao Xuyen Communal House
Introduction
Dao Xuyen Communal House (located in Dao Xuyen Village, Bat Trang Commune) is a City-level relic recognized since 2013. The structure is a community activity center with profound artistic architectural and historical value of the locality, worshiping the tutelary deity who protects the village, preserving a valuable system of royal edicts bestowed through feudal dynasties along with many horizontal lacquered boards and couplets praising the merits of the deities. The architecture of Dao Xuyen Communal House was built solidly with a sturdy lim wood frame system, a curved-tipped tiled roof covered with thick tiles, and rustic carvings rich in folk artistic expression. The structure is very well managed by the relic management board, with spacious facilities, perfectly meeting the space for organizing major festivals and cultural activities of the people, contributing effectively to the sustainable preservation of traditional cultural identity.
