La Doi Communal House is ranked as a provincial relic.

Authorized by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the leaders of Nam Sach district awarded the provincial relic ranking certificate to the representative of the local leaders.

On the morning of May 1, Hop Tien commune held a ceremony to receive the certificate of ranking La Doi communal house as a provincial relic.

According to the royal decree, in La Doi village there were two brothers, the sons of the La family's paternal uncle, named La Tuyen and La Thanh, who were both literary and martial artists and had contributed to the fight against the Ai Lao invaders. One day, when the two La brothers returned to La Doi, dark clouds gathered, heavy rain and strong winds, thunder and lightning for three days and nights, and the two La generals had gone to heaven. When the wind and rain calmed down, the people of La Doi only saw two large graves at the head of the village, which the people called the God's grave. From then on, the people of La Doi village built a temple and honored the two La generals as the village's Thanh Hoang. Later, the people built the temple into a communal house to worship the two Thanh Hoang of the village.

La Doi communal house also worships mandarin and doctor Pham Dong Vien, a villager who passed the doctoral exam in 1766 under the reign of King Le Hien Tong. This is also the place where many important local events took place during the resistance wars against France and the US.

La Doi Communal House is located on an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square meters. At first, the communal house was a small temple. During the Later Le Dynasty (18th century), it was rebuilt in a spacious T-shaped architecture with 5 main worship rooms and 3 rear sanctuary rooms. In the 60s of the 20th century, the relic was demolished. In 1991, the government and people rebuilt it. In 2002, the relic was restored with 5 main worship rooms, and in 2004, 3 rear sanctuary rooms were restored.

The communal house still preserves a number of valuable antiques such as: 3 Phu Lang ceramic incense bowls from the Later Le Dynasty; 3 sets of thrones and tablets, 2 rice platforms, 2 sets of palanquins, a seal tray, a royal decree box, a dragon pavilion, a scroll of sacred records, a bronze hat and 5 stone steles dating from the Nguyen Dynasty. The main festival of the communal house takes place from the 12th to the 14th of the second lunar month.

On January 12, the Provincial People's Committee decided to rank La Doi communal house as a provincial-level historical and cultural relic. At that time, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the locality had not yet organized a ceremony to receive the relic ranking certificate.
