Beitun Wenchang Temple
Beitun Wenchang Temple, Literature temple in Beitun District, Taiwan.
The temple features a main hall with a four-column pavilion, two wings containing classrooms, and five shrine rooms dedicated to different deities.
Construction of the temple began in 1864 when community leaders gathered funds to build a place that would promote Confucianism and literacy.
The temple serves as a center for education where students visit to seek blessings for academic success from Wenchang Wang, the deity of literature.
Located on Changping Road in northern Taichung City, the temple underwent major renovations between 1996 and 1998, costing 34 million New Taiwan dollars.
During the Japanese colonial period in 1904, part of the temple transformed into a public school, which later developed into Beitun Elementary School.
