Kha Nhi communal house, situated in Kha Nhi hamlet (now Mai Kha hamlet), Kha Son commune (Phu Binh), was constructed and completed by the local people around the end of the 17th century during the reign of Later Le dynasty. Within the communal house, two stone steles named Hậu thần bi ký (Inscription of the Rear Deity) are preserved. The communal house is dedicated to the honor of General Duong Tu Minh, who made significant contributions to the people and the country during the 12th century.
