Old Tainan Magistrate Residence, Colonial government residence in East District, Taiwan

The Old Tainan Magistrate Residence features a two-story structure with British colonial and Japanese architectural elements, including a prominent clock tower.

Built in 1900 during Japanese rule, the residence initially served as the home for Tainan Prefecture Governor Imai Konichi and later transformed into various administrative offices.

The building reflects the architectural fusion of Eastern and Western styles during Taiwan's colonial period through its wooden craftsmanship and structural design.

The residence now functions as a cultural center with a café, hosting regular exhibitions and lectures while maintaining its historical features for public viewing.

An underground air-raid shelter from 1936 remains intact on the southeast side of the property, preserving wartime elements of Taiwan's past.
