(Baonghean.vn) - After the recent heavy rain, Hoanh Son Church - a provincial historical relic in Khanh Son commune (Nam Dan) has seriously degraded.

Hoanh Son Holy House was built during the Le Dynasty and restored during the Nguyen Dynasty. It is a unique architectural work and was recognized as a Provincial Historical Relic in 2018. After hundreds of years of existence, the relic has seriously degraded, especially after the heavy rains at the end of September. Photo: Huy Thu

According to our observations, compared to the worshiping hall and the left and right wings, the harem house is the most severely damaged, especially the two back roof corners. Photo: Huy Thu

In the back right corner of the sanctuary, the roof edge was broken, separated by 7-8 cm, the roof ridge was broken, and large pieces of tiles fell off. Photo: Huy Thu

The corners of the house have broken off the mortar and roof tiles above, leaving the wooden parts exposed to the sun and rain, gradually rotting. Photo: Huy Thu

Two tiled roof edges near the roof of the sanctuary were also broken and separated, affecting the structure of the building. Photo: Huy Thu.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha (50 years old) - the caretaker of the relic, before receiving the Provincial Historical Relic Certificate in 2019, the church was renovated. However, due to small and patchy repairs, the structure deteriorated not long after. Currently, the corners of the house still retain the roof ridge, but the wood and tiles have broken, collapsed, and separated from the mortar above. Photo: Huy Thu

The worshiping house and the left and right wings are also seriously degraded. The roof tiles of the right wing have collapsed in long sections. Photo: Huy Thu

Many wooden structures in the church such as beams, rafters, batten... were eaten by termites, broken, rotten... Some tiles fell off, standing in the church looking up you could "see the sky". Photo: Huy Thu

Not only is the wood rotten and broken, the tiles are falling off, in the small open-air courtyard of the church, tall trees are growing, affecting the stele and roof of the relic. Photo: Huy Thu

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha, the caretaker of the Hoanh Son church relic, shared: After the recent heavy rains, the structure has seriously degraded, making us extremely worried. The unique relic, a symbol of a scholarly countryside, is "crying for help", in dire need of attention from departments, branches, and levels, to soon have a plan for restoration and embellishment.
