Cu Da ancient village
Cu Da village is a museum which preserves the ancient architectural features of a craft village on the outskirts of Hanoi. According to Vu Van Than, an 87-year-old elder of the village, genealogies and historical documents show that Cu Da village in Cu Khe commune, Thanh Oai district was founded four centuries ago by royal relatives of a Trinh Lord. Then owners of large textile factories, shops, and transportation in Hanoi in the 1920s through the -1940s period brought civilization to the village. The villagers have always been proud of their home. They used the village’s name as their surname when they lived and worked in Hanoi. “Some of the bourgeois in Hanoi at that time whose names began with the word “Cu” gave the name to Cu Da villagers,” Than said.
