Ziguan Sheng’an Temple (梓官典寶橋聖安宮) - Spectral Codex
梓官典寶橋聖安宮

A mid-sized temple venerating Taiwanese resistance fighter Lu Shitou (盧石頭), styled as Marshal Lu (盧府元帥) or Lord Lusheng (盧聖伯公). He was gunned down in this vicinity along with dozens of his followers around 1898, an event generally known as the Dianbao River Incident (典寶溪事件). Decades later a shrine was erected in his honor by his relatives, and in the post-war era his anti-Japanese credentials led to his deification and, over subsequent decades, the expansion of the original shrine into a full-fledged temple. By coincidence, this temple has an actual Japanese World War 2 fortification in the forecourt.
