Hoi Dong Communal House

Located on high ground in the center of Phu Luu Te Trung village (My Duc commune), beside the romantic Day River,Hoi Dong Communal HouseStanding majestically as a typical "great communal house" representing the architecture and spirituality of this land. The communal house was built during the reign of King Tu Duc (1848-1883), featuring the distinctive "front communal house, rear temple" architectural style on the largest scale in the area. The most outstanding architectural highlight is the Dai Bai hall, whose truss system is exquisitely carved, using relief carving techniques for images of dragon heads, nghe creatures drinking water, and the extremely vivid four sacred creatures Long - Ly - Quy - Phuong. The refinement is also shown in the corbels and side beams decorated with floral and animal motifs characteristic of Nguyen dynasty art. Beyond its value as sculptural art, Hoi Dong Communal House also carries a unique historical anecdote about its "five gates" construction to welcome King Dinh Bo Linh on a royal visit, along with a harmonious combination of I Ching feng shui elements and Hue royal architecture. Ranked as a City-level Historical and Cultural Relic in 2004, the communal house is not only a solemn place of worship for the village's tutelary gods but also a symbol of solidarity and a place that preserves intact the traditional cultural beauty and old village festivals of the people of Phu Luu Te.
