Phu Dien Communal House

Phu Dien Communal House belongs to Phu Dien Village, Dai Thanh Commune; the communal house is located on the right bank of the Nhue River, facing the river, and worships King Le Dai Hanh, while also co-worshipping another deity, Tran Thong.

        The communal house has a moderate architectural scale, faces east, and includes: Nghi Mon (ceremonial gate), courtyard, Dai Bai (main hall), and Hau Cung (rear sanctuary).

        Phu Dien Communal House currently preserves many precious artifacts, such as: 6 stone animal statues, a pair of wooden cranes, a palanquin frame set, 3 Tho Ha ceramic incense bowls, a wooden altar, 2 dragon thrones, a set of bat buu (eight treasures), 10 sets of royal edicts... dating from the 18th-19th centuries. Notably, the communal house still preserves many valuable Han-Nom documents, such as: 3 Nguyen-era steles, couplets, horizontal plaques, and royal edicts from the Nguyen dynasty.

       Although it does not have a large area, Phu Dien Communal House has become a place of spiritual convergence, a place for preserving, educating about, and promoting fine traditional cultural values.

        The communal house was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) classified Historical - Artistic Architectural Relic at national level in 1992.
