Lin Yuan Stone House

The former home and studio of Lin Yuan (林淵), a self-taught sculptor and pioneer of naïve art (樸素藝術) in Taiwan, located in the settlement of Neijiadao (內加道) in Yuchi. Lin farmed for most of his life and only took up stone carving after retiring at the age of 65, producing thousands of works drawn from folk tales and rural life before his death in 1991. He built the house himself in his later years, and it has been described as the largest of his works. Repaired after the 921 Earthquake, it reopened in 2003 as Lin Yuan Naïve Art Memorial Hall (林淵樸素藝術紀念館) and was registered as a commemorative building in 2018.
