Located in Shanghuangmen Street of the old town of Rucheng County, Chenzhou City, Zhu’s Ancestral Temple sits in the west toward the east with an area of more than 6,000 square meters and an overall architectural layout similar to “T”.

It was built by the Zhu clan from 18 counties of Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi in 1945. Its towering gatehouse features a combination of Chinese and western styles. The middle arch is tall and wide, above which stands a two-story Chinese octagonal tower with upturned eaves.

A stone plaque written with four Chinese characters朱氏总祠 (Zhu’s Ancestral Temple) is inlaid on the arch. It is listed as a key cultural relic under national protection.
