Binh Thuy Ancient House
Nhà cổ Bình Thủy
A mansion built in 1870 that blends East and West. A French-style facade stands alongside traditional Vietnamese halls, and it was the filming location for the movie The Lover.
Binh Thuy Ancient House is the ancestral home of the Duong family. It was originally built in 1870 and remodeled to its present form in 1911. The exterior is French colonial architecture, while the interior retains traditional southern Vietnamese halls, carved wooden screens, and imported tiles. Its collection of antique furniture and ceramics is extensive. Jean-Jacques Annaud's film The Lover was shot here. Admission is about 15,000 to 20,000 dong. It is open roughly from 8:00 to 17:00. The house is about 6 km from the city center, about a 15-minute taxi ride away, and can be combined with a visit to Binh Thuy Pavilion.
