Van Dien Communal House

Van Dien Communal House currently stands on a high, spacious, and airy plot of land near the village road. In the past, the relic was large, among the largest in Ha Dong; its columns were made of lim wood so large that two people could not embrace them. In front was a two-tier, eight-roof square pavilion, and on both sides were left and right auxiliary halls. Van Dien Communal House is the largest of the four communal houses in the commune. In February 1947, Van Dien Communal House was destroyed under the scorched-earth resistance policy; not until 1996 did local people restore the communal house to its current scale. The overall layout of the relic includes: the ceremonial gate, square pavilion, main worship hall, rear sanctuary, and guest house.

Van Dien Village Communal House worships Nguyen Bo and Nguyen Phuc, two generals who made great contributions in helping Dinh Bo Linh quell the rebellion of the 12 warlords and unify the country. The communal house was refurbished spaciously in 1995. It still preserves a unique cylindrical stele erected in 1803 under the Nguyen dynasty, possessing high historical and artistic value.

Van Dien Communal House was ranked as a historical relic by the Hanoi City People's Committee in 2010
