Nom Village is one of the few villages that still retains its original architecture, a characteristic feature of the Northern Delta countryside, with its ancient banyan trees, wells, communal house, and moss-covered village gate... This place has witnessed countless changes over the years and has become a cherished memory for many. Currently, the complex of historical relics here is being carefully preserved by the local people.
The village gate was built in the year of the Rabbit (1915), 7.75 m high and 10.4 m wide. It features an elaborate design with exquisite motifs, patterns, and couplets, and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful village gates in Northern Vietnam. Nom Village has a system of ancestral temples built in the 19th century, in the traditional architectural style, running along an east-west direction. The old houses and ancestral halls here often have unique gate and wall structures that have been preserved relatively intact. The village temple, dedicated to Saint Tam Giang, is located in the northwest of the village, near the west gate, and retains many ancient features of a Northern Vietnamese village. Currently, the temple has a floor plan in the shape of the Chinese character "Tam" (three), consisting of the main hall, the central hall (square pavilion), and the rear sanctuary, with two symmetrical rows of side wings on either side. The village has three ancient wells, which are valuable local assets. The wells are located within the village, in front of the communal house, and along the roadside next to the stone bridge. The wells are constructed with alternating layers of bricks, covered with lids, and surrounded by walls… With these values, the Nom Village historical and architectural complex was ranked as a National Historical and Architectural Art Monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2020.
