Bát Tràng Village Communal House

Bát Tràng Village Communal House (address at Bát Tràng Hamlet, Bát Tràng Commune) is a city-level ranked relic under Decision No. 5189/QĐ-UBND dated July 30, 2002. The building is known as one of the most imposing and sacred artistic architectures of the craft-village heritage area, majestically situated facing the historic Red River. The communal house is where six village tutelary gods who had merits in protecting the nation and bringing peace to the people, along with the founding predecessors and the ancestors of the Bát Tràng pottery craft, are worshipped. The communal house has a large-scale layout with a great hall featuring soaring curved roof corners, a system of large wooden columns, and exquisite dragon-and-phoenix carved panels bearing strong imprints of Lê - Nguyễn dynasty art. This is the center of the traditional pottery village festival from the 14th to the 16th day of the second lunar month every year, preserving many ancient rituals such as the water procession from the Red River and the procession of the set of memorial tablets. The building plays a core role in strengthening community cohesion, preserving folk knowledge, and promoting the image of local culture to international visitors. The communal house is being strictly conserved to participate in the parade performance of the Typical Academic Village in 2026.
