YEN KIEN COMMUNAL HOUSE

Yen Kien Communal House is a city-level historical and artistic relic, ranked on February 27, 2026. The communal house is located in Yen Kien Village and is an ancient religious work imbued with the cultural identity of the land south of the former Thang Long imperial city.
The communal house is dedicated to Cau Mang Dai Vuong and his two wives Phuong Dung and Phuong Anh – figures associated with legends from the Hung Vuong era who helped the king fight invaders and defend the country. Located on an ancient trade route, the communal house was not only a place for spiritual activities but also a historical witness tied to the formation and development of the former Khang Kien village.
The relic currently preserves 13 edicts from feudal dynasties, reflecting historical and religious values and the feudal state's veneration of the worshipped deities. The communal house's architecture follows traditional style and was extensively restored in 1909 under King Duy Tan, yet it still preserves many exquisite carved panels and an ancient worship system.
Every year, the Yen Kien Communal House festival is solemnly held with traditional ritual ceremonies, contributing to preserving folk cultural identity, strengthening community solidarity, and conserving the local historical values.
