Linnei Shinto Shrine (林內神社) - Spectral Codex
林內神社

Completed in 1939 or 1940 with conscripted labor from around the township. It was classified as an unranked (無格社) Shinto shrine. It is one of the more well-preserved Shinto shrines in Yunlin County; two of the four original torii remain standing along with several stone lanterns and a pair of komainu (狛犬) outside what is now a Jigong temple (濟公堂) at the top of the hill. It was known as Rinnai-jinja in Japanese times.
