DUYEN TRUONG COMMUNAL HOUSE
Introduction
The ancient Vietnamese village of Duyen Truong has existed since ancient times, and the village communal house dates from the early 17th century. Through various dynasties it was repaired and expanded many times; by the Binh Tuat year (1706), under King Le Du Tong, reign title Vinh Thinh, Quan Cong Nguyen Khue set its orientation to face the To Lich River. In the Binh Tuat year (1886), under the reign title Dong Khanh, the communal house was restored, so it partly bears the architectural style of the Nguyen era and has survived to this day.
Through historical upheavals, the communal house has been repaired many times; most recently, in 1986 and 2012, local officials and residents restored it, so the communal house has been preserved almost as originally. The communal house was ranked as a historical and cultural relic on October 3, 1988.
