Quy Mông Communal House

Quy Mông Communal House is located in Quy Mông Village, Phù Đổng Commune.

The communal house worships the village tutelary god, Uy Dũng Đại Vương (a royal son-in-law who served as an official during the reign of Lê Hồng Đức (1460–1497) and whose wife was Princess Kỳ Lân), who made contributions to the homeland and the country. To commemorate the deeds of the two deities, local people built a communal house that serves both as a spiritual place of worship and as a cultural activity and meeting center for the village. Every year, local people hold a festival on the 10th day of the third lunar month.

Through destruction by nature and war, Quy Mông Communal House has been repaired on a small scale many times, but it still preserves the traditional architectural appearance of a 19th-century Vietnamese village communal house. The communal house architecture consists of five bays with the front worship hall and rear sanctuary. The front worship hall was built with a gable wall with blocked ends and handrails, with a structural system of 'vì kèo quá giang kẻ suốt'. The rear sanctuary was built with a gable wall with blocked ends and handrails, with wooden trusses in the 'thượng giá chiêng, chồng rường' style supporting the roof ridge. The rear main columns were reinforced with square brick pillars, and the floor was paved with Bát Tràng bricks.

Currently, the communal house still preserves six royal edicts from the Nguyễn dynasty. The earliest edict dates to the 9th year of Gia Long (1810), and the latest dates to the 9th year of Khải Định (1924). In addition, there are a wooden incense table, a set of bát bửu, a wooden worship bed, ceramic incense burners, etc.

Quy Mông Communal House was ranked as a city-level relic in 2013.
