About 70 kilometers away, Dong Thap province holds one of the highest concentrations of historic houses in Vietnam.
Following last year’s national administrative mergers, preliminary data indicates the province currently has three national heritage sites, 11 provincial-level sites, and nearly 40 historic houses still awaiting official recognition.
However, many state-managed properties have been abandoned and left to deteriorate. Notable examples include the Huyen Chieu House in An Thanh Thuy Commune and the Huyen Mau House in Cai Be Commune.
Pictured is the Huyen Mau House, built in 1910. Previously utilized as a headquarters for various local organizations, the building has remained vacant since the recent administrative restructuring.
