Le Xa Shrine

Le Xa Shrine (located in Da Ton Village, Bat Trang Commune) is a city-level spiritual relic officially recognized in 2007. The structure is closely linked with the Le Xa communal house and pagoda relic cluster to create a complete cultural and religious space complex for the locality. The shrine worships local deities who have merit in protecting the village in peace, driving away epidemics, and bringing a prosperous life to agricultural residents. The structure has a compact scale and bears strong features of traditional folk architecture, with a solid surrounding wall system and a solemnly arranged altar. Le Xa Shrine preserves many ritual objects, tablets, and horizontal plaques of long historical date, which are valuable documentary sources evidencing the development process of local worship. The relic is always included in the conservation management list of specialized agencies, and its infrastructure is maintained in a safe condition.
