The stele house is a variation of Romance architecture mixed with Asian architecture. Tall, thin statues of mandarins are made of cement and bricks instead of stone statues, bad toa tiles, and checkered bricks. In general, Dong Khanh mausoleum opened the architectural period of mixing Europe, Asia, and Neo-Ancient times. The project is recognized as a national monument (art architectural type) according to Decision No. 2009/1998-Decision/Ministry of Culture and Sports dated September 26, 1998 of the Ministry of Culture and Information.
