Nam Huong communal house has an area of over 440m2. It was restored at the beginning of the twentieth century.
After the period of restoration, Nam Huong communal house has a more spacious appearance, but still basically preserves the original values.
Located behind King Le Memorial area next to Hoan Kiem Lake, Nam Huong communal house at 75 Hang Trong street was erected in the late Le and Nguyen dynasties to worship the superior gods.
The communal house is also a place to introduce Hang Trong paintings that have been greatly eroded./.
