(BNP) – Bai Uyen communal house (Bai Uyen village, Lien Bao commune) was built in the Le Dynasty on a large scale. During the resistance war against the French, the construction items were destroyed. In 1989, people rebuilt the communal house smaller than before to worship the saint. Since then, people have continued to restore and embellish the communal house to make it spacious and beautiful.
