Lukang Assembly Hall

Lukang Assembly Hall, located in Lukang Township, Changhua County, Taiwan, is an important historical building that was officially designated as a county-level historic monument on July 14, 2000. The site has a rich history—originally home to the Xiaojiao Guild Hall and Wanchun Temple, which was dedicated to Lord Su (Su Fu Wangye). These structures were later dismantled and rebuilt into the current Assembly Hall. Since 2010, the building has been transformed into the Lukang Art and Culture Center, serving as a key venue for performing arts and promoting local culture.
Architecturally, the hall blends modern and traditional elements. The main structure uses a reinforced concrete beam-and-column system, with the roof framework combining timber and steel trusses, and cement tiles used as roofing material—highlighting a transitional phase in architectural techniques and materials of the time. The washed stone finish on the exterior walls reflects a popular design trend of the period.
Stylistically, the building is heavily influenced by Art Deco, while incorporating traditional Japanese irimoya-style roofing. The interior design features local Taiwanese elements, such as hexagonal glazed tiles and decorative motifs, creating a harmonious blend of cultures. Notably, some of the building materials were reused from the original Wanchun Temple, preserving part of the site's historical legacy.
