Located right in the center of the village, on a flat area, the Nam Luc Ha Village Cultural House has been a place for local people to live for many years. However, due to the impact of storm No. 3 in September 2024, the Cultural House was hit by a large tree on the slope and part of the soil and rocks collapsed, causing the house wall to collapse and seriously erode. Currently, community activities cannot take place in the Cultural House because it is not safe.
