Old House of Tan Ky

The Old House of Tan Ky in Hội An is a worthwhile heritage stop and easy to visit while exploring the Ancient Town. The house is well preserved and displays original antiques and family heirlooms, offering a clear glimpse into how this river trading town once lived and operated. It helps put the age and history of Hội An into perspective beyond the streets and shops. Visits are fairly quick, making it a good stop between other historic houses and temples. It can feel crowded during peak hours, so going earlier in the day allows more time to look closely and take photos. Comfortable shoes help, as floors can be uneven, and listening to the brief explanations on site adds useful context.

This was one of the attractions I really wanted to see while in Hoi An. We bought a ticket which includes several of the sites, one of which was this. (Ticket was VND120.000). The house itself isn't big, with all the memorabilia pretty much crammed in. It used to be an old Vietnamese Merchant House, so you'll read and see a lot of things related to that. My favorites were all the old furnishings such as beds and furniture. I especially loved the "sink" (I'm sure there's a name for it) in the corner. My grandma had one of those growing up. At the end of the tour/house there's a bunch of souvenirs which you can purchase. All in all, I really enjoyed walking through this house. There is also a wall where it shows all the different water marks of the floods through the years. A really lovely bit of history.

Wonderful history and story about this old house that used to be on the naval spice route, but also served as a soap making workshop under French occupation and then maternity clinic during the American war era. Really great place to visit to eat to drink and to shop for wellness products and many other things. Highly recommended.

Requires ticket to enter. We didn’t have any so donated some money at the entrance. This house is one of the oldest near the river and stood strong during many floods and the family still lives on upper floor and they only come here at 7pm. The place closes at 5pm anyway. The whole house is made of wood and there are many “mother of pearl” furnitures which are absolutely stunning! Must visit place if you are curious.

If you're in Hoi An, you have to check out the Tan Ky House! It’s right on the Thu Bon River and is an awesome example of a classic Hoi An merchant's home. Even though it's been around for a while, the house still has this really unique vibe and some super cool stories. You'll get to see how the old merchants did business on the river, check out their unique pulley system, and just admire all the cool architecture. It’s a perfect place to really feel the history and see the true beauty of Hoi An.

Impressive ancient house with what seems to be lots of history. The marks of the flooding levels and the fact that the family still lives upstairs is amazing. Picture of the original greedy cup below/ attached
