清朝客家圍村三棟屋  Qing Dynasty Era Hakka Mansion Sam Tung Uk

三棟屋是典型的客家圍村，於清朝乾隆51年（1786）由陳姓客家人建立。陳氏家族於十八世紀中期從廣東移居本港，擇居荃灣。三棟屋原先只有三列房舍，由族長陳任盛所建，他的後人先後在村的兩旁及後面加建房舍。

位於中軸線上的正廳，擺放了陳氏先祖的神位，面向正門，正門石楣上刻有「陳氏家祠」四字。三棟屋於1987年全面復修，竣工後成為三棟屋博物館，開放予市民參觀。

三棟屋村有逾200年歷史，於1981年列為古蹟。仍保存得相當完好，出色的修葺工作更令博物館獲得亞太旅遊協會1990年度的「太平洋古迹大獎」。

Sam Tung Uk Village is a Hakka walled village that was built by the Chan clan in the 51st year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1786). After moving from Guangdong in the mid-18th century, the clan settled in Tsuen Wan. Sam Tung Uk was founded by Chan Yam-shing, a leader of the clan, who constructed three rows of village houses, which were later expanded by his descendants, who built annexes on both sides and at the back of the houses.

The ancestral altar was placed in the main hall, which lay on the central axis and faced the main entrance. Four Chinese characters signifying “Chan Family Ancestral Hall” are engraved on the granite lintel above the door frame. The village was restored in 1987 and opened to the public as the Sam Tung Uk Museum.

With a history of over 200 years, Sam Tung Uk Village was declared a monument in 1981. It is very well preserved, and the excellent repair work has enabled the museum to win the 1990 Pacific Heritage Award by the Asia-Pacific Travel Association.
