The pillars are connected to each other to create 4 doors leading to 4 directions. On the front door are engraved 3 large Chinese characters "high - sky - match". The roof of the 1st floor is poured with concrete and gathered into an arch shape, decorated with yellow stars, flower vines... Photo: Huy Thu

The roof tiles on the 3rd floor of the main gate are curved with soft, graceful dragon shapes. Magnificent and unique in architecture; balanced and harmonious in layout and aesthetics; soft and sharp in every detail, the main gate has created a rare and unique beauty for Dang Cao Palace - a provincial historical and artistic relic.

The pillars of the ceremonial gate are attached to the flower-pierced walls, with the word “longevity” on them, and above them are reliefs of lions, dragons, flowers and leaves... The human statues, the “four sacred animals”, and the landscape paintings embossed on the walls are beautiful works, demonstrating the skillful talent and delicate aesthetic mind of ancient artisans.

It is known that the process of preparing materials to build the gate lasted a whole year. Back then, the descendants of the Nguyen Canh family took turns carrying sand, transporting sand by wheelbarrow from Lam River to the palace, making bricks, cooking bricks, carrying stones, cooking lime... In the photo: The soft dragon image made of lime mortar, pieces of ceramic and porcelain "gliding" on the gate. Photo: Huy Thu

At that time, cement was not as readily available as it is now, and we had to "ask permission from the head office" to go all the way to Hai Phong "to buy a few tons", so the mortar was mainly made from lime, sand, sap from the Boi Loi tree and molasses. The Nguyen Canh family mobilized their descendants to go into the forest, cut down many Boi Loi trees to soak and extract sap. The foundation of the main gate was mainly made of old bamboo poles. In the photo: The "lien quy" theme is vividly and softly embossed on the wall of the main gate. Photo: Huy Thu

Elderly people of the Nguyen Canh family said that on the day of the inauguration of the gate, the whole family held a celebration. At the time of the "final construction", 1,300 quan of money was spent. Because the construction took several years and required a lot of effort, the construction team "lost money" so they "asked for more money". In the photo: The image of the lion on the pillar has a majestic and sturdy beauty. Photo: Huy Thu

More than 80 years have passed, the builders of the ancient construction have passed away, but the gate is still majestic, standing tall in the middle of the village fields. The gate of Dang Cao Palace has a unique architecture, harmoniously combining Vo Bang - French architecture with traditional Eastern architecture, a work of high artistic value, considered the most beautiful gate in the system of relics in Nghe An.
