Courbet Memorial, Memorial in Zhongxing Village, Taiwan.
The Courbet Memorial is a commemorative site in Zhongxing Village honoring Admiral Amédée Courbet, featuring traditional architectural elements, a central monument, and information plaques. The grounds include manicured gardens and pathways designed for visitors to walk through and explore.
The memorial honors French Admiral Amédée Courbet, who led naval operations in East Asia during the Sino-French War of 1884-1885. These military events left lasting impacts on Taiwan and reshaped regional control in the area.
The site brings together French and Taiwanese history through its design and displayed documents. Visitors can see how these two cultures met at this place and how they remain connected today.
The site is accessible by public transportation from Taipei, with regular bus services to Zhongxing Village. When arriving, it helps to note local landmarks since the village sits somewhat away from the main urban area.
The site preserves original artifacts and documents from the 19th century that give direct insights into French naval operations of that era. These surviving pieces tell the story of the people and moments that shaped the region.
