Dich Vong So Communal House
Introduction
Dich Vong So Communal House is a religious and belief structure with a long history of construction. It worships a historical figure, Ly Phat Tu, a king of the Ly dynasty, who rendered great services to the people and the country. The communal house is large in scale, and its architecture and artistic decoration bear strong artistic style of the 18th and 19th centuries. This is an enclosed architectural complex including: a three-entrance gate, a large brick yard, and a communal house area in the shape of the Chinese character 'cong'. Its current architecture and scale are the result of many restoration periods, especially under the Nguyen dynasty. With its typical values in history, architectural art, and belief culture, Dich Vong So Communal House was ranked as an architectural and artistic relic by the Minister of Culture and Information under Decision No. 06/2000/QD-BVHTT dated April 13, 2000.
