Renovation of two old architectural buildings in the Mekong Delta province of Ben Tre, which began in August 2013, was completed on April 24.
A total investment exceeding 25.6 billion VND (1.2 million USD) was used to restore an over 100-year-old house, Huynh Phu, and a stone tomb area located in Thanh Phu district.
The ancient house, covering 520 square metres, has long preserved a wide range of wood carving creations dating back to the Nguyen dynasty (1802 - 1945 ), which have remained nearly intact.
The tomb area, recognised as a national architectural heritage in 2011, contains unique stone sculptures.
Both structures are the last surviving remnants of their kind in the province, which boasts a number of cultural and historic vestiges.-VNA
