原彰化警察署

The former Changhua Police Station is a public building in Changhua City that combines European and Japanese architectural elements in a symmetrical design with traditional roof structures. The structure extends across multiple levels, including underground spaces that originally served administrative purposes.

The building was constructed in the early colonial period of the 20th century and served as the central police administration headquarters for the Changhua region. Its architecture reflects the influence that the colonial administration had on local institutions and their physical form.

The building shows how European and Japanese architectural styles blended together in Taiwan and shaped how people understood public spaces. The symmetrical design and traditional roof structures reflect this cultural mixing that visitors can see in the local architecture today.

The site is located in central Changhua City and is accessible to visitors when you check the current opening hours before going. It is recommended to book guided tours to fully understand the historical details and architectural features of the building.

The basement of the building contains original prison cells that have been preserved in their original condition since the colonial period. This underground area gives visitors insight into the daily operations of law enforcement and administration from that era.
