Ha Village Communal House (Duong Ha)
Introduction
Ha Village Communal House is an ancient architectural work of the former Kinh Bac region. Through its long existence, the relic has been relocated many times and restored, renovated, and rebuilt. The current Ha Communal House was built on a large, spacious plot, facing southwest by the Duong River and located within the village's residential area, including the ceremonial gate, main hall, middle shrine, rear shrine, and two rows of side buildings.
The communal house's architecture still preserves old houses with a strong traditional style and is decorated with carved panels of high aesthetic value. These carvings were created in two historical periods and are interwoven, integrated, and mutually enhancing; the dragon and nghe images of the Le Trung Hung period are rendered in high relief, plump, strong, and robust, while the decorative themes of the Nguyen period are very rich and lively, adding to the beauty of the architecture.
Ha Village Communal House, Duong Ha Commune, was ranked as a Historical - Architectural and Artistic Relic by the Hanoi City People's Committee in 2003.
