THUẤN NHUẾ NỘI COMMUNAL HOUSE - NATIONAL-LEVEL ARCHITECTURAL ART MONUMENT

Thuấn Nhuế Nội Communal House, also known as Thuấn Nội Communal House, is located in Thuấn Nội Village, Hát Môn Commune, Hà Nội City. The communal house was built during the Lê dynasty; a stele dated to the Vĩnh Thịnh era in 1706 shows that the relic has a long history. After many renovations, the communal house now has a Front Ceremonial Hall, Main Hall, Rear Sanctuary, and Left and Right Side Halls.

The communal house worships Cao Sơn Đại Vương, a general of King Hùng Duệ Vương, who had the merit of fighting the Thục invaders, helping the people develop production, and teaching them to grow mulberries and raise silkworms. The communal house currently preserves 7 royal edicts, 3 palanquins, Nôm-script deity records, stone steles, horizontal plaques, couplets, and many carved panels bearing the artistic imprint of the Lê dynasty.

Every year, the communal house festival is held on the 10th day of the 3rd lunar month, with sacrificial rituals, ceremonies, singing, and folk cultural activities; every five years, a large-scale festival is held.

With its outstanding historical, cultural, and architectural-artistic values, Thuấn Nhuế Nội Communal House was ranked as a National-Level Monument in 1991.
