Geocache Description:


廖家廟於1887年起建,歷經張廖家族30年的持續建築,在1916年終於全部完工,其格局類似客家建築,主體建築以傳統三堂二過水加一圍屋之客家常見環形土樓,而其斗栱形式之多樣為它處少見,有方形、八角、碗形、菱形、花瓶形等,據專家考據可能與其新建過程中建築師父不同所產生的差異。

張廖家廟於1985年指定為三級古蹟,目前仍保持傳統家廟的功能,而張廖家族仍然以此作為家族的精神象徵與宗族的聚會場所。
Zhang Liao Family Temple was built in 1887. After 30 years of continuous construction of the Zhang Liao family, it was finally completed in 1916. The layout is similar to that of Hakka architecture. The main building is a traditional Hakka ring house with traditional three halls and two waters.  And the variety of its fighting style is rare, there are square, octagonal, bowl-shaped, diamond-shaped, vase-shaped, etc., according to expert research may be different from the architect father in the new process.
Zhang Liaojia Temple was designated as a three-level monument in 1985, and still maintains the function of the traditional family temple, and the Zhang Liao family still uses this as a spiritual symbol of the family and a gathering place for the clan.
