So Lau Yuen

So Lau Yuen was built by Tang Kuen Hin, the sixth rank military official, during the Qianlong reign (1736-1795) of the Qing dynasty. In the mid-nineteenth century, it became a study hall and later was turned into the headquarters of the local self-defence village patrol. The building has two halls and one courtyard, with some beams and corbel brackets made of granite.
