Thượng Khảm Lâm Communal House

Thượng Communal House worships Đức Thánh Hai - Thiện Sỹ (Phụ Quốc Công Thần Đô Đốc Phó Tá, Đại tư Mã, Đại Tư Đồ), a man credited with teaching the villagers farming, mulberry growing and weaving, and with repelling invaders. According to the legend, he passed away on the 10th day of the 9th lunar month in the Bính Ngọ year. The communal house is located on a beautiful elevated plot at the entrance of Khảm Lâm village, facing east. In front flows the romantic Bùi River. Surrounding the communal house is a densely populated residential area, creating the warm scenery of a traditional Vietnamese village. The total area of the communal house is 1132.1 m2, with main structures including: Tiền tế (front hall), đại bái (great worship hall), bình phong (screen), and the courtyard system garden.TrThrough the vicissitudes of history, although the communal house's Đại bái (great worship hall) no longer retains the appearance of its initial construction period, the communal house still preserves many artifacts, especially 17 divine ordinations (sắc phong), contributing significantly to the tangible cultural heritage of the homeland and the city. Thượng Khảm Lâm Communal House was recognized by the People's Committee of Hà Tây Province as a historical and cultural relic under Decision No. 1958 dated 21/12/2005.
