Gur Sikh Temple, National historic gurdwara in Abbotsford, Canada.

The wooden two-story temple features a gable roof, false-front facade, and open second-floor veranda with columns on three sides of the structure.

Built between 1908 and 1912, the temple was constructed by Sikh settlers who manually transported lumber from a nearby mill to create their place of worship.

The second floor contains the prayer hall while the ground level includes a kitchen and dining hall for langar, where meals are served to all visitors.

The Sikh Heritage Museum on the ground floor opens daily, presenting exhibits about Sikh history, early settlers, and their contributions to Canadian society.

The structure stands as the oldest existing Sikh temple in North America, receiving National Historic Site designation from Prime Minister Jean Chretien in 2002.
