Lou Kau Mansion

Unclaimed

A very well-preserved old mansion that used to belong to a rich merchant. The exterior isn't eye-catching as it's located along a busy street between other shops with brighter lighting, so you might miss it if you're not consciously looking out for it. The interior has very pretty architectural details. Entry is free. Would recommend stepping in to have a look.

Nestled in a busy street, Lou Kau Mansion is easy to miss. Once you step inside, you'll be amazed by the architecture. I went there just after noon and there was no wait time. There's no air-conditioning inside but there are lots of electric fans scattered about to provide cool wind. The mansion has several chambers. There's a room where you can get free postcards and you can stamp them with the Lou Kau Mansion Logo!

Was here June 2024. Free entrance. Highly recommend visiting this little gem. Feels like you go back in time. The place is small for a museum. But you walk around slowly. Try to absorb your surroundings. You'll understand how things work back then. These are just a few things I noticed. If you look up. Part of the roof is open. This is to let the lights in. No electricity back then. There lot more but let you all explore for yourself.

Quite impressive for this history building, the overall building still well maintained. This can be the reference for future building, as it really comfort which air circulation is very good.

Stumble by accident but I was glad I visited! Fantastic architecture! Very refined and elegant!
