聯和市場屬新界粉嶺聯和墟的主體建築，於1951年啟用，為戰後新界北區第一個墟市，是當時新界區最大規模的市場。市場於2002年9月26日停用，其後古物古蹟辦事處對街市的牌坊表示有興趣，而這座歷史建築則獲得保留，更獲專家評為香港獨一無二設計。在居民的爭取下，並未有拆卸，可是一直維持空置。在2018年，舊墟市場將進行活化工程，並保留原貌。

聯和市場樓高一層，由建築師莫若燦設計，採用早期現代主義風格。市場空間設計左右對稱，如英文的“E”字。柱身用磚和混凝土建造，以支撐上方鋼筋混凝土天台的橫樑和樓板。

Luen Wo Market is the main building of Luen Wo Hui in Fanling, New Territories. It was opened in 1951 and was the first market in the North District after the war and the largest market in the New Territories at that time. The market was closed on September 26, 2002. Afterwards, the Antiquities and Monuments Office expressed interest in the archway in the market, and this historic building was retained and was rated as a unique design in Hong Kong by experts. With the efforts of the residents, there was no demolition, but it remained vacant. In 2018, the old market started a revitalization project and retain its original appearance.

Architect Mok Yeuk-chan who adopted an early Modernist style for this simple one-storey building. The building has a symmetrical E-shaped plan with brick and concrete columns supporting a reinforced concrete roof of beams and slabs.
