Former Tangrong Brick Kiln

The Former Tangrong Brick Kiln is a former brick production facility in Sanmin, Taiwan, with a series of connected domed structures designed for firing construction materials at high temperatures. The restored site displays the technical aspects of traditional brick manufacturing.

The facility was established in 1899 and became a major supplier of construction materials during Taiwan's early Japanese colonial period. Its industrial importance faded with modern development, and today it stands as a preserved monument.

The kiln represents Taiwan's industrial evolution and shows traditional manufacturing methods that supported regional construction. Visitors can see how such facilities enabled the development of local building projects.

The restored facility welcomes visitors daily with guided tours that explain the brick-firing process and industrial heritage preservation. Comfortable shoes are advisable since exploring the site involves walking through multiple connected structures.

The original administrative building remained operational until 2002, keeping records of a century of brick production. These office spaces offer insight into the daily operations of a large-scale industrial factory.
