Lin Family Mansion

Lin Family Mansion is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Taiwan. The oldest edifice of the Lin Family Mansion was erected around 1847 as a "rent house" and features a quadrangular courtyard that would have acted as a center for rent crop collection. The Lin Ben Yuan family built the Three-Courtyard Mansion in 1851 as their main residence.

As the home of a strong family, the mansion had various defensive elements that may still be observed today. Tourists today visit the site in Banqiao principally to admire the enormous gardens, which are regarded as one of Taiwan's Four Great Gardens. However, the structures themselves are intriguing, and if you can get on a tour, there are lots to see inside as well.
