Viet Yen Village Communal House

Viet Yen Communal House is located in Viet Yen Village, Phu Cat Commune, Hanoi City, and is a place that preserves the historical, cultural, and religious values of the local community. The relic was ranked by the People's Committee of Ha Tay Province under Decision No. 743/QD-UBND dated 02/4/2008.

According to the surviving legend and royal edicts, the communal house worships the Three Tan Vien Mountain Deities and Princess Mai Trang. The worship expresses the people's gratitude to the revered deities and also contributes to preserving the tradition of looking back to their roots.

The communal house is located on high ground at the entrance to the village, facing southeast, with a spacious area in front for community cultural activities. Typical structures include the ceremonial gate, stone screen, Ha Communal House, and left and right side halls. Ha Communal House has a Dinh-shaped ground plan, consisting of a five-bay main worship hall with a traditional curved roof and a three-bay longitudinal rear sanctuary; the two rows of left and right side halls each consist of three bays.

Through historical upheavals, many structures of the communal house were once demolished. In the period 2014–2021, the ceremonial gate, Ha Communal House, left and right side halls, and some auxiliary items were restored, meeting the people's needs for religious activities.

Visiting Viet Yen Communal House, tourists can offer incense, learn about the worship of the village tutelary god, and explore traditional village communal house architecture. The relic is a cultural destination that helps connect visitors with the history and spiritual life of the people of Phu Cat.
