Kong Family Mansion, Ancient Chinese family residence in Qufu, China
The Kong Family Mansion includes 152 buildings and 480 rooms spread across 12,470 square meters of traditional Chinese architecture from Ming and Qing dynasties.
The original mansion, constructed in 1038 during the Song dynasty, underwent reconstruction in 1377 under Ming dynasty orders, expanding to three building rows with 560 rooms.
The residence contains Ming and Qing dynasty hanfu robes, imperial calligraphy, poetry collections, and ceremonial instruments given to Confucius descendants by Chinese emperors.
Visitors can explore administrative offices, residential quarters, ceremonial halls, and courtyards that display the daily life of Confucius descendants through multiple generations.
A four-story refuge tower stands as the tallest structure in the mansion, built as an emergency shelter but never used throughout its existence.
