白云楼

白云楼

　　白云楼坐落在荆门城区青龙山西麓，占地1.2万平方米，东高西低，呈多级台阶状。中轴线上依次排列着：山门，卧云洞，斯台，白云楼，三清殿，荷花池，会仙桥，纯阳殿。南北二侧建配殿、招鹤亭、碑廊、读书台等建筑。建筑物飞檐凌空，斗拱别致，石雕工艺精细，内涵丰富，是荆楚地区古建筑中不可多得的瑰宝。

　　白云楼历史悠久，道教文化源远流长。其所在地最初仅有一洞，名太平洞，始创年代可上溯至张角创建“太平道”的东汉时期。相传，唐代著名道教人物吕洞宾曾驾白鹤来此一边-，一边为民除害。（右图为白云楼）

　　民间至今仍流传着“吕洞宾奉旨降龙”、“吕洞宾三探飞虎洞”等故事，因此受到荆门人民的怀念，为了纪念他，荆门民众在扩大原有洞穴的基础上，捐资修建了白云楼（吕祖祠）。从明朝至今，洞内一直存放着吕洞宾下榻的龙床（寒玉床），供奉着吕洞宾神像。

　　

白云楼为省级重点文物保护单位。
