castle, fortification
The construction of the castle started in the Ming Dynasty and ended during the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. With a history of more than 400 years, it has witnessed the historical evolution of Shanxi Province. The castle, which consists of more than 60 courtyards, is a typical civilian building of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The castle was constructed and owned by a local noble family of which 185 members had been court officials during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although some of the buildings there are now deserted, a few people live in the castle today and are unwilling to leave.
