Sau Thuong communal house is located on

communal house had four conferment by kings of the feudal Nguyen dynasty. It
worships the God of Mountain who protected the country and have been honoured
and worshiped by the people for many generations. For a long time, Sau Thuong
communal house has been famous for its sacredness, so local people often come
to offer incense and pray for fortune, good weather, and prosperous business.

every year.
Through ups and downs of the history, the
ancient communal house was heavily damaged and seriously degraded. In
particular, in 1950, it was bombarded by the French colonialists and had its
columns removed to make posts. In 1980, the communal house was rebuilt on the
old ground with a total area of more than 4,500 sq.m. Surrounding the communal
house are large rice fields, creating harmony and closeness between the human
being and the nature.

historical and cultural values, on January 9, 2024, the Chairman of the
provincial People's Committee issued a decision on rating the communal house as
a provincial-level cultural and historical relic site, thus creating favourable
conditions for local people to preserve, restore and promote its values.
