A four-pillar, three-bay memorial archway completed in 1848 honouring Lín Chūn (林春), a child bride widowed at age twelve who spent the rest of her life caring for her late betrothed’s mother. Beyond her acts of devotion she is also remembered for successfully praying for rain during droughts and the siege of Dajia in 1862. She is also deified as Chaste Mother (貞節媽) with a statue in the nearby Dajia Jenn Lann Temple.
