Dong Khe Communal House
Story
01Introduction to Dong Khe Communal House relic
Dong Khe Communal House has a rather special location, in the middle of Dong Khe Village – on the bank of the Day River, adjacent to Dai Phung Village where the Dai Communal House is located, an ancient architectural work typical of 17th-century village communal house art in Dan Phuong District (now Dan Phuong Commune - Hanoi City). In addition, Dong Khe Communal House is about 7 km from the Red River to the East and Northeast... these natural factors have partly affirmed the distinctiveness and favorable location that the ancestors chose to build the communal house.
Dong Khe Communal House faces Southwest and includes the following architectural components: ceremonial gate, main hall, rear sanctuary, and left and right corridors.
On July 17, 2008, Dong Khe Communal House was ranked by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a historical-cultural and architectural-artistic relic. This is the legal basis for the people of Dong Khe Village to preserve and safeguard a precious heritage left by their ancestors and to promote the relic's value in order to propagate the local history and long-standing cultural tradition... thereby educating the present generation about love for the homeland and country.
