The Fanglan Mansion (Chinese: 芳蘭大厝; pinyin: Fānglán Dàcuò) is a historical house in Da'an District, Taipei, Taiwan.

History

The mansion was built in 1806 by Chen's family as their first house when they immigrated from Anxi County, Fujian.[1]

Architecture

The mansion was constructed from local stones with fir wood and bricks shipped from Mainland China. A waterwheel attached to one of the exterior wall was decorated with clay moldings. The original layout of the mansion was a traditional three-sectioned structure with left and right wings. Those two wings have since collapsed and no longer exist.[2]

Transportation

The mansion is accessible within walking distance east of Gongguan Station of Taipei Metro.
