Chau Phong Shrine is located on a large plot of land, surrounded by walls and separated from the residential area. In front is a rice field creating an open space; the Shrine yard is paved with bricks and has large trees providing shade.
Nghè currently has two main architectural parts: the main sacrificial hall in front and the rear sanctuary behind, with a ground plan in the shape of the character 'ding'.
The main sacrificial hall is built in the style of four roofs, with curved corner blades. On the ridge are embossed a pair of dragons facing the moon, and on the edge beams are unicorns facing. The curved roof tips are graceful, combined with flame-leaf and dragon-facing motifs, giving the structure an imposing, solemn yet soft appearance.
The main sacrificial hall has 3 bays and 2 side compartments, or 5 bays and 2 lean-tos. The trusses are structured in the traditional manner with a system of columns, beams, corner brackets, wind boards, front kẻ and rear bẩy. In front there is a narrow porch; all 5 bays use a system of wooden panel doors, roofed with mũi hài tiles; the two side compartments have wooden floors.
The central bay of the main sacrificial hall is where the curtained door, incense table and worship crane are placed as the outer altar. Behind the incense table is the entrance to the forbidden sanctuary.
The rear sanctuary is built in the style of a closed gable end, roofed with local tiles, and consists of two bays and one lean-to. Inside are arranged sets of worship thrones as the main altar.
Overall, Nghè is moderate in scale but compact and beautiful, following the principle of symmetry and balance. The curved roof tips, the panel-door system and the wooden floors create the graceful, ancient character typical of a traditional religious structure.
