Xinzhou Iron Buddha Temple

Xinzhou Iron Buddha Temple

The Xinzhou Iron Buddha Temple is a cultural relic protection unit of Xinzhou City.

The Iron Buddha Temple is located in Jinshanpu Village, Gaocheng Township, Xinfu District. It faces south with a north orientation and covers an area of 100 meters from east to west and 110 meters from north to south. Its founding date is unknown, but according to an inscription on the ridge beam of the main hall, it was renovated in the second year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1369), and underwent multiple repairs during the Qing Dynasty. The existing main hall is a relic from the Ming Dynasty. The hall is built on a stone foundation, with a width of three bays and a depth of four rafters, featuring a single-eave suspended gable roof, a five-rafter non-veranda structural style, bracket sets with a single step and no offset, and a bracket arm span of less than one bay. The murals inside are still relatively well preserved. In April 1985, the former People's Government of Xinzhou City (a county-level city) designated it as a municipal-level cultural relic protection unit.
