Lutheran Yan Kwong Church Complex to be classified as Grade III historical buildings
The grading of five historical architecture in Ma On Shan Mine is officially approved by Antiquities Advisory Board today. The five-building complex, known collectively as Lutheran Yan Kwong Church, which includes a primary school, a church, a kindergarten, a relief articles storage and teachers’ quarters, is classified as Grade III historical building.
Looking ahead, we will dedicate our efforts to preserve the forgotten mine history - a unique episode of Hong Kong cultural values. We hope public visitors to feel and experience in person the past mining history and the tenacity and camaraderie among miners.
