二結農會穀倉

Locations

The Erjie Agricultural Association Granary (二結農會穀倉) was established in 1928 by the organization now known as Wujie Farmers’ Association (五結鄉農會) and subsequently expanded over the next several years of the Japanese colonial period. Located in the vicinity of Erjie Railway Station (二結車站), the facility served as an agricultural collection center for the fertile farmlands along the south bank of the Lanyang River (蘭陽溪). The complex features an austere stone-washed office building, a two-storey brick storage warehouse with ten grain compartments, and a three-storey wooden rice mill. After ceasing operations in 1993, the granary was designated a county-level historic monument in 1998 and reopened as a small agricultural museum (二結穀倉稻農文化館) in 2001.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
