Cau Bac Communal House worships the village's tutelary deities such as Cao Son Dai Vuong, Minh Tru Dai Vuong, Minh Khiet Dai Vuong and the local god. During the war, the communal house was twice destroyed by American bombs (1967, 1972), many items and artifacts were lost. However, the people still persistently maintained the worship, showing the spirit of "remembering the source of water when drinking". The communal house has been restored today, becoming a place for spiritual and cultural activities of the community.

Cau Bac Pagoda has also experienced historical ups and downs. From a three-room tiled-roof pagoda, a place to worship Buddha and preach, the pagoda was twice bombed by American bombs, many items were severely damaged. Thanks to the joint efforts of the government and the people, the pagoda was gradually restored: rebuilding the main gate (2015), the bell tower, casting a new bell (2018), becoming a place for religious activities, a place to place the faith of Buddhists and local people.

In particular, Cau Bac communal house - pagoda is also closely associated with the revolutionary movement. During the two resistance wars, this place was a meeting place for discussing work, with comrades heroically sacrificing their lives. The whole village has 28 martyrs, a Vietnamese Heroic Mother, many wounded soldiers and meritorious families. Every year, Cau Bac communal house festival is held on the 11th - 12th of the second lunar month with many ritual activities, incense offering, and folk games, becoming a lasting cultural beauty.

Based on that historical, cultural and traditional value, on June 30, 2025, the Hanoi People's Committee issued a Decision on ranking Cau Bac communal house and pagoda as a City-level historical relic.
