Cau Village Communal House

Cau Village Communal House, Cau Hamlet, former Tuy Lai Commune, now Tuy Lai Hamlet, Phuc Son Commune, is a relic about historical figures associated with the nation's struggle against foreign invaders in the early period of nation building and defense - the Hung Vuong era. Among the existing values of Cau Village Communal House, the life and career of Cao Son and Quy Minh as the village's tutelary deities have been woven into a legendary layer covering the communal house and creating a long-standing cultural and historical area of Cau Village. The communal house faces southeast; in front of it is a large lake. From the entrance is the Huu Mac house with 3 compartments built in the style of front knife and rear block with three sloping roofs and two curved roof corners. Cau Village Communal House was recognized by Ha Tay Province as a provincial-level historical relic in 2003. Cau Village Communal House was granted 6 royal edicts by the Le and Nguyen dynasties, including 1 edict currently worshipped together with Ben Village Communal House. Therefore, every 3 years, the people organize a festival to process the deities' edicts for worship alternately between the two communal houses for about 3-5 days, with March 22 as the main festival day. With the attention of higher authorities, Cau Village Communal House has recently been restored and embellished spaciously, contributing to promoting the relic's value and meeting the local people's religious practice needs.
