The site of the Ge Clan Ancestral Hall in Luoyang is a cultural relic protection unit of Changzhou City.

The site of the Ge Clan Ancestral Hall in Luoyang is located in Gejiatou, Ludong Village, Luoyang Town, Wujin District. The ancestral hall was originally built during the Ming Dynasty and was later reconstructed in the early years of the Yongzheng reign by Li Shan, son of Ge Ji, who led clan members in a collaborative restoration effort. The structure faces south, features five bays, three courtyards, and additional auxiliary rooms. It is a traditional ancient building constructed with brick and wood, featuring a flush gable roof and horse-head walls. This project has been combined with the fifth batch of heritage listings for the Tomb of Ge Ji.
