Known as the "Number One Ancestral Hall North of the Yangtze River," the He Clan Ancestral Hall was first built during the Ming Dynasty. It is grand in scale and remarkably well-preserved. The main hall is majestic and solemn in an ancient style. Architectural features such as lotus-leaf-shaped pedestals supporting the beams, hat-wing-like decorations on beam supports, post-and-lintel construction, and vase-shaped pillar bases are all rare in northern Jiangsu.
During the 1940 Battle of Huangqiao, the site served as the Rear Service Committee. In 1982, it was listed as a provincial-level cultural heritage protection unit. The hall houses precious cultural relics including Ming Dynasty folding screens, golden bricks from the Forbidden City, and porcelain paintings from Jingdezhen.
