Tran Ba The Ancient House

About this location

Tran Ba The Ancient House – A hallmark of Southern Vietnamese architecture Located in the Tan An area, Tan Loc Ward, Can Tho City, the Tran Ba The Ancient House sits on Tan Loc islet amidst the characteristic riverine and orchard landscape of the Mekong Delta. Built around 1935 by Mr. Tran Thien Thoai, the father of Mr. Tran Ba The, this culturally and architecturally valuable heritage home has been preserved and maintained through multiple generations. Set within a spacious campus of approximately 10,000 square meters, the property is surrounded by lush greenery and mature ornamental trees. The structure comprises a front house, a back house, and a kitchen, blending Western architectural influences with traditional Southern Vietnamese residential features. The interior retains numerous wooden details, high ceilings and doors, decorative patterns, and vintage furniture. The front hall is primarily dedicated to ancestral worship and receiving guests, while the back house accommodates family living. With its antique ambiance, expansive gardens, and well-preserved architectural details, the Tran Ba The Ancient House was selected as the main set for the film 'Nha gia tien' (Family Ancestral Home), demonstrating its suitability for scenes featuring family themes, nostalgia, and Southern Vietnamese culture.
