Phu Coc Communal House
Introduction
Phu Coc Communal House is the common great communal house of the Muong hamlets in the Phu Coc area, worshiping the two village tutelary deities Tu Quang – Tu Minh, closely associated with the two Holy Mothers worshiped at Cay Thoi Temple. It is a center of belief and community activity across many generations — where deity worship rituals, community meetings, and cultural activities of the local Muong people take place.
The current structure was rebuilt in 2010 in an antique-style concrete style, preserving ancient couplets of literary and historical value. The communal house is closely tied to the community's spiritual life and is a place where locals place their wishes for favorable weather, peace, and prosperity.
