The Tamsui Red Castle is a 19th-century mansion in Tamsui District, New Taipei, Taiwan.
The building was originally called Daguanlo and was planned in 1895 and built in 1899 during the Japanese rule of Taiwan as an accommodation for a local rich businessperson, Mr. Li. It was then later on taken over by the chairperson of Tamsui Street, Mr. Hung, after the decline of Mr. Li's family business. Afterwards, the building had been experiencing many changes throughout the time until recently it has been converted into a Chinese restaurant and café.[1] [2]
