Nhan Hoa Communal House

Nhan Hoa Communal House is located in Nhan Hoa Village, Dai Thanh Commune, Hanoi City. The communal house was built on a very beautiful plot of land, shaped like the saddle of a large elephant. Although the current communal house is not too massive, it still retains its ancient character thanks to the protection and preservation efforts of the local people.

The communal house worships two deities: Empress Trieu La and Great King of the East Sea Doan Thuong.

According to extant documentation at the relic, the communal house had been built by the seventeenth century at the latest. In the latter half of the twentieth century and the early twenty-first century, it was restored and repaired several times. The central architectural complex, with the Great Hall and Rear Sanctuary, has a ground plan in the shape of the Chinese character Dinh; through restoration, it has basically retained its ancient character. The communal house still preserves many precious artifacts dating from the Le–Nguyen periods, such as deity records, palanquins, ceremonial caps, sacred robes and hats, vases, washing vessels, and eight treasures... especially 38 royal edicts, the earliest of which dates to the fourth year of Duc Long (1632).

Nhan Hoa Communal House was ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) as an architectural and artistic relic at national level in 1992.
