Dong Du Thuong Communal House

Dong Du Thuong Communal House (located in Thuong Dong Du Hamlet, Bat Trang Commune) is a City-level relic under Decision No. 309/QĐ-UBND dated January 22, 2007. The structure serves as an important cultural and religious center of the hamlet, worshipping deities credited with defending the country and bringing peace to the people, guarding the borders, and protecting the residents of the Dong Du Thuong riverbank area so they can maintain stable lives and agricultural production. Dong Du Thuong Communal House has a solemn architectural scale with intricate wood carvings that demonstrate the high aesthetic thinking of ancient artisans. The rich system of royal edicts carefully preserved in the rear sanctuary is a valuable historical source for researching the administrative history and beliefs of the peri-urban area. The communal house is where traditional village festival rituals take place, bringing together the distinctive folk cultural beauty of the Northern Delta region. The structure is very well maintained by the community, with regular inspection and maintenance of the wooden structural system, ensuring the relic remains sturdy and well serves spiritual and cultural activities.
