石碇姑娘廟

The Stone Maiden Temple features a two-story structure with an upper level dedicated to worship and a lower level serving as residence for temple caretakers.

Built in 1918, the temple honors Wei Bian, an unmarried woman who passed away during the Qing Dynasty and whose spirit requested proper veneration through local residents.

The temple provides sanctuary for memorial tablets of unmarried deceased women, who traditionally cannot be enshrined in ancestral halls according to Chinese customs.

Located at 22-1 Dahugo Road in Shiding District, New Taipei City, visitors can access the temple through stone steps leading to the main prayer hall.

The temple established the tradition of lending small amounts of money, exactly 20 New Taiwan Dollars, which borrowers must return through specific ceremonial procedures.
