Hau Ku Shek Ancestral Hall, Ancestral hall in Ho Sheung Heung, North District, Hong Kong.

The building follows a traditional three-hall and two-courtyard design with side chambers and an altar housing ancestral tablets in the middle section.

Construction of the ancestral hall dates back to the late Ming Dynasty between 1368 and 1644, with renovations documented during the Qianlong reign in 1762.

The hall maintains its function as a central gathering place for the Hau clan members to perform ancestral worship rituals and traditional ceremonies.

The monument opens Monday and Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with closures on Tuesdays and major holidays.

Red sandstone forms the drum platforms and door frame of the hall, featuring detailed carvings of traditional motifs across the roof ridges and beams.
