梅庭 Beitou Plum Garden (Meiting)
約建於1930年代,末期的梅庭,曾是著名書法家,于佑任先生的避暑別館,坐落於北投公園內,緊鄰有百年歷史的北投溫泉泉物館。
融合了日式與西式優點的和洋式建築,分為上下2層,上層是採用傳統木造的日式建築,下層則是因應當代需求,所見的防空避難室,位於入口處醒目的梅庭二字,就是于右任所提,來梅庭除了觀賞日式建築之美外,也不妨到館內參觀了解,被譽為千古草盛的生平事蹟與字帖。
Built in the 1930s, the late Beitou Plum Garden (Meiting) was once a famous calligrapher, Mr. Yu Youren‘s summer shelter. It is located in Beitou Park, next to the 100-year-old Beitou Hot Springs Museum.
The combination of Japanese and Western styles buildings is divided into two upper and lower floors. The upper floor is a Japanese-style building made of traditional wood. The lower floor is an air defense shelter that should be seen for the needs of the generation. The 梅庭 (Mei Ting) word at the entrance is striking. In addition to admiring the beauty of Japanese architecture, you can learn deeply about Youren Yu’s life story and works.
