Luzhu Dexin Hall Introduction
Cheng-Jia De-Xin Hall, with a history of over a hundred years, was built during the Qing Dynasty and is one of the few well-preserved Minnan-style traditional residences in Luzhu District. It features a rare curved ridge roof in northern Taiwan, which could only be constructed by scholars of that time. The craftsmanship is exquisite and delicate. Besides serving as a memorial center for the ancestors of the Chen family who came to Taiwan, it is also designated as a third-grade historical monument by the Taoyuan City Government. The nearby Wujiao Barrel Mountain area was once a habitat for the Eastern Grass Owl and the Philippine Eagle. To promote ecological conservation, the descendants of De-Xin Hall have set up a 3.1-meter high giant owl statue at the entrance of the old house, which is deeply loved by visitors for its ancient and simple appearance.
