Located in Luzhou District, New Taipei City, the Lee Family Ancestral Residence (Luzhou Lee Residence) is one of Taiwan’s most significant and best-preserved traditional mansions. Originally built in 1857 and reconstructed in 1895, this grand estate covers over 1,200 pings and consists of seven halls and fifty-six rooms arranged in a rectangular layout. The architecture features a large three-section compound with inner and outer wings, all constructed from brick and stone without the use of wooden columns—a rare technique that enhances its durability against floods, a common issue in the low-lying Luzhou area. The residence is surrounded by trees and features a lotus pond in front, reflecting the local landscape and embodying traditional Taiwanese defensive architecture. The estate’s design includes multiple courtyards, intricate door gods, and Ba Gua motifs on beams, believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune. Inside, original furnishings such as antique beds, dressing tables, and stone mills are preserved, offering a vivid glimpse into the lifestyle of a prosperous family from the late Qing Dynasty and Japanese colonial period. Historically, the Lee family played a prominent role in Luzhou’s development, with members active in agriculture, education, and local governance. The mansion is also the birthplace of General Lee You-Bang, a notable figure in Taiwan’s anti-Japanese resistance. Designated as a national historic site in 2018, the Luzhou Lee Residence stands as a testament to Taiwan’s cultural heritage and is open to the public as a museum...

歷史發展
蘆洲李氏原籍福建省泉州府同安縣,於乾隆中期的移民到蘆洲一帶落腳墾拓,最初李氏舊居於中路18番地之土角茅草房,而現址是七番地。
蘆洲田仔尾李宅又稱李祖厝,由鄉里稱謂李老師或田仔尾老師的三世祖士實公所創建,於1903年落成。李清水三子李樹華,生於1837年(道光17年),1863年(同治2年)入淡水廳儒學學宮為邑庠生,後為淡水縣學附貢生,光緒十九年為臺灣巡撫邵友濂委任安平縣儒學正堂同陞受教諭,同年兼鳳山縣儒學正堂,1895年辭官。李家因經商有方,加上李樹華的科舉功名家業益大,成為蘆洲名望大族。
1985年內政部核定蘆洲李宅為三級古蹟,並成為第一個自願列管的私有古蹟,格外具指標性意義。修護工程於1993年(民國82年)開工,1997年(民國86年)完工,2006年(民國95年)10月28日正式以「蘆洲李宅古蹟」、「李友邦將軍紀念館」名義對外開放,展出抗日史料及李將軍手稿,產權仍屬私人所有。
