Thuan Ton Communal House

Thuan Ton Communal House (located in Thuan Ton Village, Bat Trang Commune) has been a national-level historical and architectural art relic since 1996. Thuan Ton Communal House is a source of pride for its unique architecture among local people and worships the local tutelary deity, who made great contributions by helping feudal dynasties drive out foreign invaders and protect the peaceful life of the people. The communal house's architecture reached the maturity of the rustic woodcarving art of the 18th-19th centuries, with carved corbels and eave brackets featuring dragon-coiling and stylized floral motifs that are both extremely soft and vigorous. The communal house also preserves a system of royal edicts, splendid horizontal lacquered boards painted red and gilded with gold, and original ancient ritual objects. This national architectural art heritage is always strictly protected, and the surrounding space is kept open; it is a place for solemn community festival activities rich in national identity.
