Huong Van communal house
(BNP) - Huong Van communal house (Lac Ve commune, Tien Du district) was created on a great scale until Le Trung Hung's reign, embellished with ornate carvings of "four spirits, four quarters”. However, that ancient communal house was destroyed during the French resistance fight. The villagers came together in 1994 to donate money so that they could continue to enlarge the communal house.
