The Communal House was ranked as a National Historical - Architectural Relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) in 1996. Photo: Huy Thu

According to the locals living around the communal house, after the water barrier was broken, the tiles on the roof gradually fell off. The rafters were exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, rotting and breaking, causing the tiles to fall off in large pieces. In the photo: The tiled roof behind the lower hall. Photo: Huy Thu

Standing below the communal house looking up, you can see the tiles of the communal house have fallen off, especially the roof, the corners... An ancient communal house with the most beautiful sculptures and carvings in Nghe An is seriously deteriorating: The roof is sagging and broken; water is leaking inside the communal house; the bricks in the yard are broken... Mr. Ho Thanh Binh - the caretaker of Trung Can communal house relic said: After each heavy rain, the communal house becomes more seriously degraded. Currently, the communal house has completely degraded, from top to bottom, from inside to outside. If it is not restored and embellished, it will affect the existence of the heritage. Photo: Huy Thu
